Our Achievements

Since the establishment of our team in 2009, TJSO has won eleven consecutive regional tournaments and five Virginia state tournaments. During the 2019 season, TJSO broke the record for the best overall score in Virginia state tournament history and shattered our own record for the best-ever national placement by a Virginia high school… then in 2021, we shattered the state tournament record again.
