• Week #24 - Medals Galore: Indoor Track and Field Excels at VISAA States!

  2/13/2026
  Dave Levy, Athletic Director
  It was seven degrees outside last Saturday at 9:00 in the morning when Tandem's Varsity Indoor Track and Field team gathered to workout at UVA. Undeterred by the weather, the Badgers have continued to train hard - logging heavy miles, doing yoga with Sofia and flying at a very difficult to sustain threshold pace.

   

  One of the most decorated athletes in Tandem Friends School history, Hayes took gold in the 3200 meters, winning the race by 16 seconds in a blazing time of 9:42. To describe Hayes as an elite distance runner does not even scratch the surface of what he has accomplished. This is Hayes' second state title this school year - he also won the VISAA State Cross Country Championship in the fall (and in 2024). Additionally, Hayes won the 3200 at the 2025 Outdoor Track and Field VISAA State Championships. This performance gives him his fourth individual state title at times that most college runners could only dream of.

• Week #24 - JV Team Beats Veritas to Complete Nearly Perfect Season

  2/12/2026
  JV Boys Basketball - Mason had fifteen of his seventeen points before the fourth quarter. He picked up an early foul in the final period, his fifth, and King took over a key leadership role in his stead. The Badgers led much of the period, including a 51-46 edge with four minutes to go. But Veritas kept the pressure on, going on a 7-0 run to take the lead at 53-51. 

   

  King responded with a steal at the top of the 2-3 zone, streaking the other way for a layup, and tying the game. With the Badgers tied at 53, Levie forced a miss on a shot from the short corner, and King came down with the rebound. On the ensuing possession, King drove to the basket, drew a foul, and gave Tandem the lead at the line 54-53.

• Week #24 - Senior Day Victory Highlights Three Exceptional Seniors

  2/12/2026
  Varsity Boys Basketball - Sean came out red hot and had nine in the opening period, but Tandem was trailing 20-14 towards the end of the first quarter. Isaac penetrated the zone, made a tough basket, drew the contact and cashed in at the foul line. On the other end, Quis rebounded in traffic, threw an outlet pass to Sin and then relocated to the corner, where he knocked in a three to end the quarter. The game was tied at 20.

   

  Veritas set the tone early, scoring four three pointers in the first period. Sin flipped the momentum in the second, stealing the initial inbounds pass and going the length of the court for a lay up. Moments later, he dribbled the ball up against a passive 2-3 zone. With neither elbow defender coming out to guard Sin, he let the ball fly, putting the finishing touches on a 7-0 run to start the quarter.

• Week #24 - JV Boys Badgers Win Three Games in Three Days!

  2/10/2026
  RMA. Covenant. Monticello. None of these squads could contain the Tandem JV Boys Basketball team, now 10-1. The Badgers have played at an incredibly high level throughout the season! Playing with pace, the Badgers were at their best when Monticello went to a full court man to man press. As Coach Sam pointed out, Coach George has the press-break on lock! All five players touched the ball - and there was not a single dribble. King threw an inbounds pass to Derion. He kept the ball high and looked toward the middle, where Mason stepped to the ball and pivoted to face the basket. He spotted Levi flying down the right side of the floor, and tossed a chest pass in his direction. Levi took one step towards the basket, and with eyes in the back of his head, he tossed a pass over his shoulder to Levie, who completed the play with a smooth layup!
