We’re two weeks into the spring sports season at Meridian High School, and the Mustangs will now have the next week off for break, giving us a good early gauge of where everyone stands. It’s been a solid start to the campaign for many of the programs, so let’s take a look at how things are shaping up.

Baseball played its first true home game in 22 months against Millbrook last Wednesday and made it count with a 10-0 win. The boys followed that with a tough 10-9 heartbreaker at Kettle Run the next night, bringing them to 2-3 on the season. Softball, meanwhile, dropped a pair of road games, falling 17-3 to Liberty (Bealeton) on Monday and 17-1 to Millbrook last Wednesday, as the girls continue to search for their first win of 2026.

It was a busy week on the soccer field. The boys picked up a 2-0 road win over Dominion last Monday but came up short in a 2-1 loss at Park View on Wednesday. The girls had just one game, falling 3-2 at Dominion last Thursday. Both teams now sit at 2-1 on the year and will be off until returning to action against Annandale on April 7.

Boys’ lacrosse stayed hot, edging Freedom 11-10 in overtime last Wednesday before defeating John Champe 15-8 the following night, both at home. The girls also came away with a win in their lone contest, an 8-7 battle against Alexandria City. Combined, the teams are a perfect 7-0, with the boys at 4-0 and the girls at 3-0 heading into a well-earned break.

Both tennis squads continued their strong starts as well. The boys and girls each defeated Millbrook 8-1 last Wednesday, with the boys winning on the road and the girls at home. That improves both teams to 3-0 on the season, and they’ll return to the courts after the break against Warren County on April 9.

Last but not least, track and field competed at a district meet at Manassas Park and delivered a strong showing, highlighted by William Anderson’s individual victory in the 3200-meter event. The Mustangs will next compete on April 8 when they travel to Brentsville.
