During the championship meet, George School Boys broke four school, pool, meet, and conference records in the 200 Medley Relay, 200 Freestyle, 100 Backstroke, and the 400 Free Relay, respectively.

The Boys’ Varsity Basketball team became FSL Champions for the first time in school history. The final score of the game was 64-61. Christian Bliss ’24 set a new school record with 39 points vs. ANC Basketball in the FSL Championship Game. It broke the previous George School record set by teammate Kachi Nzeh ’23, who had 34 points vs. Trenton Catholic on January 31, 2022. The team went on to the PAIS Championship final, also for the first time in George School history, and lost in overtime by two points.
