In recording a repeat performance for the first time in decades, Owen Love won his second state championship.
The Edison Eagles sophomore golfer shot a 2-under-par round of 70, then won the individual title outright with a birdie putt on the second playoff hole to defeat Robinson Rams’ junior Raquel Walker (also with a 70) to defend his Virginia High School League Class 6 state golf tournament crown.
Their time without a state championship was short-lived for the Langley Saxons.
Motivated by last season’s disappointing third-place finish in the Virginia High School League (VHSL) Class 6 state golf tournament, Langley returned to the throne by winning this year’s crown with a 303 team score. The defending champion Robinson Rams finished second this year with a 308 total.

While 192 county schools have been fully accredited for this school year by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), Justice High School in Lake Barcroft and Sandburg and Whitman middle schools in Fort Hunt and Hybla Valley, respectively, were rated “accredited with conditions” due to shortcomings in reported student achievement levels.
Pulte Home Company is planning to build two apartment buildings in the existing Caywood at Woodland Park office complex near the Herndon Metro Station.

The convenience store chain 7-Eleven will be slightly less ubiquitous by the end of 2024.
