The majority of the student population generally overlooks the athletics at Lewis & Clark, and you’ll hardly ever find a non-athlete attending a home game. Athletes are usually the only people supporting each other, in addition to the professors. LC does have good exercise equipment, though, including a fully decked-out weight room that is open to the entire student body and an indoor pool that can be used during open hours.
There is definitely a split in the school between the athletes and the rest of the student body, as each group usually makes the choice to separate themselves from each other. Student support is greatly appreciated by the athletic teams. With that being said, it’s usually a big deal if a game has a big turnout, and you can always tell that the teams are grateful.

Athletes Are Great but Need More Fans
There are several sports and athletes work hard to excel in their sports but most of the student body doesn't pay attention to sports.

Not That Great
We have good teams and there is a focus in the administration to improve them, but the majority of the students don't really care.

The crew team has the largest number of participants and is the most talked-about sport on campus. Football has the next largest representation, but only people that are somehow connected to the athletics pay attention. Rarely do students who are uninvolved with the sports teams show up to games. Athletes tend to hang around each other, so most sports events are attended by student athletes, athletes’ parents, old alums living in the past, Piolog reporters (the student-run newspaper) forced to write about the story, and photographers or friends who were guilted into attending. Sports do exist at the school; they're just overlooked by students that aren't athletes.
All teams are overlooked and neglected by the general student body, excluding the athletes, who are usually the only ones attending the games.
School spirit does exist, just mainly pride for the school and not the athletic teams. Sporting events are usually only attended by the other athletic teams. There aren't any cheerleaders, but there is a dance team for halftime at football games. There's always a pretty good turnout to school events, such as Fall Ball, the International Fair, and Midnight Breakfast.
There is no need to worry about tickets for sporting events; all students attend for free. Tickets for things like dances are sold at tables outside Fields Dining Room and sometimes in J.R. Howard Hall, where many classes are held.
It all depends on the scenery the student is looking for. Tryon Creek State Park, just a five-minute walk from campus, features eight miles of hiking trails and gorgeous scenery. On campus, there are many trails running through the woods. When the weather is nice, Portland can be one of the greatest places for taking a stroll.
College Prowler is seeking talented student authors to assist with writing and updating the College Prowler guides to their schools. This is a great opportunity for a student to gain experience and tremendous exposure, utilize new media techniques, and share advice with high school students about what life is really like at your college.
