Wando High School collects sixth Carlisle Cup in a row
Wando High School is the recipient of the South Carolina Athletic Administrators Association's Carlisle Cup at the AAAAA level for the 2020-2021 school year. This is the sixth consecutive year the Warriors have won the Carlisle Cup.
The honor goes to one school from each of the South Carolina High School League's (SCHSL) five classifications and is based on the overall athletic program's success in the postseason.
The Warriors collected three SCHSL AAAAA team state championships (girls' swimming, volleyball, and girls' soccer) and four individual state championships (one in girls' swimming, two in girls' track and field, and one in boys' track and field). Wando also finished as the state runner-up in boys' swimming, boys' tennis, boys' lacrosse, and girls' lacrosse.
"We are very proud of the dedicated hard work and effort put forth by the student-athletes, coaches, sports medicine team, administration, staff, and parents while navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic," said Wando's Athletic Director, Mark Buchman. "Being recognized as the AAAAA Carlisle Cup Award Winner is a tribute to everyone's dedication to hard work, skill development, knowledge, and effort. However, this year was also about adjustments, following guidelines, and emphasizing health and safety. All high school athletic programs should be proud and recognized for their efforts in completing seasons and the 2020-2021 school year."
Wando has now won eight Carlisle Cups going back to the 2008-2009 school year.
