Megan Lavins’ path towards the 2020 Boston Marathon was an unconventional one. She didn’t start running competitively until after she graduated with a degree in finance from American University in the spring of 2018.

Washington’s Week 1 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles was an exciting start for the franchise in its first season under head coach Ron Rivera.

The newly-minted Washington Football Team has made it through one of the most tumultuous offseasons in the history of the franchise.

And now the games begin.
Women’s basketball players across the Patriot League knew they had to step up. Following the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many other Black people at the hands of police, the student-athletes knew something had to give. They wanted to push for action, and they wanted their conference to be by their side. But for too long, they were met with near-silence.
The NBA playoffs are in full swing, but obviously, not every team is good enough to be a part of the games down in Florida. The Wizards (25-47) are one of these teams, as they failed to nab the 8th-seed during the eight-game regular-season stint that led up to the playoffs. Though Washington finished its disappointing season with an equally underwhelming performance in the bubble, the front office will benefit in the form of a first-round lottery pick in the upcoming NBA draft.

They’ll also miss breakout sharpshooter Davis Bertans who does not want to risk any major injury with free agency and a big contract offer looming.
The Washington Nationals' season will begin Thursday at 7 p.m. at Nationals Park against the New York Yankees. But, their return didn’t come without obstacles.
