Schuyler Williams '00 Inspires Athletes at SHC Dinner
On the eve of the 16th annual Seminary Hill Cup (SHC), Schuyler Williams ’00, a former field hockey, basketball, track, and lacrosse athlete, delivered an inspirational speech to female fall athletics teams on the power of being a woman in sports today.
Buoyed by the excitement around female Olympic athletes this summer, Williams touched on the journey of women’s sports. From Simone Biles to Ilona Maher, female athletes are entering a new era, and Williams emphasized that it is a remarkable time to be a woman in sports. “I am both jealous and elated that you all get to compete and be highlighted as female athletes,” she said of the Seminary Hill Cup tradition.
As she addressed the girls’ teams, Williams’ message was clear: “Seminary Hill Cup is about more than just a competition — it’s a chance to showcase teamwork, growth, and unity.” She reminded them that “playing your best as an individual or as a team is the most important aspect, and representing Episcopal High School as a female athlete is both a privilege and an honor.”
Williams’ motivational words set the tone for the competition, as Episcopal’s girls’ JV and varsity teams delivered a dominant performance, securing their 7th Seminary Hill Cup (SHC) victory. The Maroon outshined the Saints with a final score of 6.5 - 2.5 after two days of intense action, marking back-to-back wins for EHS. Episcopal took control early, only losing two out of nine matchups, with varsity soccer ending in a hard-fought tie. This latest win narrows the overall Cup standings to 8-7-1, bringing Episcopal just one win away from tying the all-time series.
