Winter Sports a Season of Firsts

3/31/2023

The 2022-2023 winter season will go down as a season of firsts for Chatham Hall Athletics.

“We had a lot of firsts this winter season and it was great to see the progress we have made in our winter programs,” said Director of Athletics Jeremy Eubank. “Our teams started strong and ended strong, and we look to continue to build for the years to come.”

Eighty-five percent of the Varsity Swimming team qualified for the VISAA State Championships and saw all swimmers lower their times throughout the season. Taylor Xu ‘23 earned All-Blue Ridge Athletic Conference (BRAC) honors with a third in 100m backstroke and 50m freestyle events, and the 200m free relay also placed third. Faye Souza ‘23 captured the first-ever BRAC Diving Invitational Championship win, and continued her streak of qualifying for the VISAA State Diving Championships. She will compete in the U.S. Dive Regional Championships this spring.

The Varsity Basketball team started their season strong with back-to-back wins and finished with two All-BRAC honors for Priscilla Bennsion ‘25 (2nd Team) and Hadley Busbee ‘24 (Honorable Mention). The campus community showed lots of support for our teams throughout the season through participation in several theme nights and spirit contests hosted by the Chatham Athletic Council (CAC).

Go Turtles!
