Arlington Lions Athletics
Huge THANK YOU for Our Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC)! 🌟 Behind every great athletic department is a heartbeat, and for us, that heartbeat is our Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC).
This year, this incredible group of leaders went above and beyond the call of duty. Composed of two dedicated representatives from each of our 22 sports teams, SAAC has truly been the eyes and ears of our campus athletics. Being a student-athlete is already a full-time job, yet these individuals consistently chose to give up their own time to serve others. They skipped their lunches to meet, collaborate, and advocate. They poured hours of tireless community service into making major campus events a massive success, including, The Athletic Hall of Fame and Read Across America. As the Voice of All 22 Teams SAAC ensures that resources and facilities are spread equitably across all 22 of our sports teams. Without their insight, it would be impossible to stay truly connected to the pulse of our student-athlete community. We always want to ensure our athletes are well taken care of, protected, and empowered and SAAC gives them the powerful voice to make that happen. Thank you, SAAC, for your unwavering service, your leadership, and your passion for putting student-athletes first. We appreciate you more than words can say! 🦁🙌💛
And a huge thank you to our SAAC advisors

Congratulations to the 26-27 Lady Lions Cheer Team
Winning programs don’t just happen by accident they are built on late nights, relentless film study, and a passion for the game that never quits. Between these 7 incredible coaches, they’ve stacked up a mind-blowing 37 League Championship titles! 🥇 They pour their souls into Arlington, teaching their student-athletes that being a champion isn’t just about the scoreboard; it’s about character, resilience, and heart. So proud to honor our coaches 🦁at the CBAADA Championship Coaches Breakfast at CBU

Huge waves coming from the pool! Let’s hear it for Ellie Lowery for a great performance at the CIF Finals, where she took on the fastest swimmers in the section and powered her way to a 5th place finish in the Girls 50 Free! Touching the wall at a blazing 24.60, Ellie proved that every millisecond counts when you’re elite, earning her the well-deserved title of Athlete of the Week
Isaac showed ready to run at the CIF Prelims and broke the Arlington school record in the 800m! Watching that clock stop at a record-breaking time was nothing short of legendary. All those miles, all those morning sessions it all led to this moment! The record wasn’t enough, Isaac has also been named Athlete of the Week and qualified for the CIF Finals! From his steady pace on the final lap to his quick kick on the straightaway, he’s showing everyone exactly what it means to be a champion. The bar has been raised and the record books have been rewritten
