Despite Maret's small student population, each year Maret manages to field a full team of each sport listed above. Although Maret has a far smaller student population, their baseball and football teams are among the best in the league. Several of these teams compete for and win MAC and ISL championship titles, and in several cases have members of the teams voted All-MAC champions. Most notable for their success are the men's varsity baseball team and the women's varsity volleyball team. The football team has improved dramatically in the last four years. They have gone from winning one game to being a perennial contender in the MAC. The football team earned second place in the league for three consecutive years. The baseball team has contended twice in the city championship against neighboring school St. Albans at Nationals Park. Also, in recent years the Maret Wrestling team has been more successful than ever before, having placed as high as 6th in the MAC tournament and top 10 in all of DC.
