Athletics is more than competition. It's about building resilience, instilling confidence, committing to yourself and to your team, and pushing limits to discover your personal best. Agnes Irwin's rich athletic history and dedication to our pre-collegiate student-athletes is a great source of pride that you can feel (and hear) on our sidelines.

Gus the Owl

Gus the Owl — Our Mascot

An important member of the Agnes Irwin community, Gus the Owl can be seen flapping his wings, giving high-fives, and hooting for our athletic teams at key sports competitions. Our resident Owl makes special appearances throughout the year, and occasionally migrates to our competition's sporting events to ruffle their feathers!
