Athletics
With every game, we unite in pride.
Together, we champion our Revolutionaries.
Athletics
We don’t just cheer for our Revolutionaries’ 20 varsity teams, we Raise High the Buff and Blue! The GW Revs have won team championships in 16 different sports — from basketball to cross country, gymnastics to golf, and we’re excellent in and on the water too with recent team championships in swimming & diving, rowing and water polo. With an Army of Revolutionaries fans loyal to GW, it’s no surprise our teams have thrived in the Atlantic 10 conference and across the country. Over the past four years alone, we have won 12 conference championships.
In the classroom and in competition, our athletes excel: approximately 300 make the Dean’s List each semester with a 3.0 or higher GPA. That’s a Revolutionary record in any arena.

universities in the world right in the heart of the Nation's Capital.“
