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 five years alone, we have won 15 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.

“I am forever grateful to the GW Athletics community and the GW community at large for creating an environment where hard work meets possibility. From the courts to the classroom, I have been surrounded by people who challenge me to lead, think bigger, and show up for others. This community has not only shaped my game, but the person I’m becoming.“
