As the longest-standing boarding school in the United States, WNA’s baseball history traces all the way back to 1892. America’s National Pastime returns after many years of league championships and competitive seasons while being led by distinguished alumni including major league baseball players Harry Anderson (Philadelphia Phillies) and Roger McCardell (San Francisco Giants). WNA also currently has two collegiate players, Kyle Bullard of Lindenwood University and George Calderon of Eastern Nazarene College who once played at the Academy.
Head of School, Dr. Virginia Kennedy, says, "WNA is in an exciting phase of enhancing our athletic offerings and opportunities for students who are serious about sports as well as those students who just love the camaraderie of a team and great exercise. I'm a huge baseball fan, so I'm particularly excited about bringing baseball and softball back to WNA."
?As the season gets closer, the process of renovating Lyall Field and building the rosters will commence. WNA looks forward to providing another opportunity for the students to develop their skills.
WNA students participate in at least two athletic seasons every year and with the addition of the baseball and softball programs, this allows those who are interested to be a part of a team, learn to lead, and to compete.
"Baseball and softball are a big deal in Maryland. It brings me pride as Athletic Director to help facilitate their return to WNA after a brief hiatus. We have an enthusiastic young coaching staff and the tools in place to have these two programs be successful in a sustainable way moving forward,” said Athletic Director Tommy Fabian.
All baseball and softball students admitted to WNA in the 2021-2022 Academic Year will be offered a discounted rate in tuition in the form of an athletic scholarship! As the baseball and softball programs make their return in 2022, WNA eagerly awaits welcoming parents, friends, and fans back to Lyall field to watch the students compete on the diamond.
