Girls High School Rugby National Tournament: Single School Historical Records

A few historical notes:

--DSHA won their 9th National Championship in 2022

--Despite playing many times over two decades this is the first time DSHA and Summit HS (CO) had met in the National Championship match. They are two of the oldest programs in the country.

--DSHA is the only team in the country to appear at every National Tournament.

--Eagle HS became the first Idaho team to medal.  This was their first appearance at Nationals.

--While Orchard Park has appeared several times in D1, this is their first appearance in D2 and first title in D2.

--This was the first Nationals held in Ohio and three local teams competed.

--This was the first appearance for multiple teams:  Eagle, Wando, Hamilton, Watkins, and Highland.  They each won at least one match.

Event Notes:

--In addition to being well-coached and talented, one theme that rang true for most of the D1 teams is that teams are also young.  Here's a breakdown of how many seniors were starters for each team:

    DSHA (3)

    Summit (5)

    Eagle, CMH, Hamilton (4)

    Wando (7)

     Grandville (only 1)

While graduating seniors are always difficult to replace, most of the D1 teams have the majority of their starters returning which has to be exciting for the future growth of girls rugby.
