Most Popular Sports
"Popular" is a too strong a word to use when referencing sports at Clark. Baseball and basketball are mentioned commonly in passing, but no one ever seems know their season record. Most people get more excited about the IM sports, particularly volleyball. However, IMs are similar to varsity in that they also do not garner any support outside of the players themselves.
Most Overlooked Teams
The sports teams at Clark are all overlooked. However, the crew team probably has the worst hard-work-to-recognition ratio of them all. Many people don't even know that Clark has a crew team. Next in line would be all the female teams. Baseball and men's basketball get little, if any, attention from the student body, but the female teams are paid even less attention.
School Spirit
Clarkies may not look all that spirited on the surface, but deep down, they know that it means something special to be a Clarkie. It might not be obvious due to the unending complaints about the school's latest construction project, the total lack of support for the sports teams, and the apathy with which students view the events that take place outside of their own cliques, but in the end, the feeling of being a member of the Clark community is really what keeps us tied to it in the first place. Clarkies recognize other Clarkies as friends when meeting for the first time. After graduation, fellow Clark students who never met before build new relationships around that common bond. Clark has a significant percentage of students who end up marrying other Clarkies. These are just a few examples of how strong an association is formed between the individual and the school.

Did You Know?
Both Dolan Field House and Granger Field are examples of Clark's strive toward expanding and renewing their facilities. Unfortunately, most of the student body does not care enough about the school's athletic endeavors to feel that their construction was warranted. They remain mostly unused by the average student.
