College Prowler Take
Athletics are not a priority at LC. The majority of students couldn’t care less because they didn’t come to LC for the sports but, rather, for the academics. The administration has recently attempted to recruit more athletes to increase the sports popularity and population, but so far it’s been met with little success. The teams are constantly losing and in the lowest division, which gives little incentive to go to games. Regardless of that, the college offers a program called College Outdoors—bringing students out on hikes, rafting trips, biking, snowboarding, and other activities outdoors—which is vastly successful. Beyond that, however, no one is very serious about sports, and if sports were to disappear from LC, there would be few students would notice or care. Students Speak Out

Varsity sports here a not very serious. The football team is shameful. Basketball, crew, and volleyball are OK and actually do well in the conference. Club sports are pretty popular and much more fun. Athletics are a great way to meet people around campus and travel around the Northwest.

Sports suck here, to put it mildly. They're more for fun, although practices are long and take place every day. The atheletes may take themselves seriously, but the rest of the school doesn't. There's active intamural sports, though, if you're into that.

Varsity sports aren't that big, but then again, the school is much more cerebral than jockish. However, if you do sports, as they're pretty small, you'll get to know your teammates pretty well and easily. Intramurals aren't that big, but you can see the gym full of people most nights of the week. We might not be the biggest sports school, but we do keep fit.

LC is not a sports school and should de-emphasize sports like football. Sports like hiking, skiing, lacrosse, and rugby are much more fitting of the LC atmosphere, however, big varsity sports (and their players) simply don't fit in at LC.

Since LC is a small liberal arts school varsity sports are not really a huge deal. The games still seem to receive decent attendance, and it makes it easier for those who want to play sports to join in. Intramural sports are commonplace and easy to get involved with.

Gyms and Facilities
- Pamplin Sports Center - Pamplin Sports Center has three basketball courts, a fully-equipped weight training room, and a co-educational training room. While the weight room is never crowded, it is usually hot inside since it isn’t air conditioned. The faculty locker rooms have saunas, and students like to sneak in and take advantage of these facilities when it’s cold outside.
- Zehntbauer Swimming Pavilion - The Swimming Pavilion features an eight-lane, 25-yard pool with diving boards. The pool is open in the afternoon and at night during the week, and is never very crowded

Getting Tickets
Don’t worry about getting tickets in advance. Almost no one attends LC sporting events, so there’s no need to plan ahead.
Most Popular Sports
Rowing (commonly known as crew) has the largest number of participants and is the most talked-about sport on campus. Football has the next largest representation, but you don’t hear much about the football team other than rumors about which girls each of them have hooked up with. But sports are that popular at LC. Rarely do students who are uninvolved with the sports teams show up to games. In fact, when questioned, most students know very little about the school’s athletics (some even are unaware that sports teams exist on campus!) 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, or friends who were guilted into attending.
Most Overlooked Teams
All teams are overlooked and neglected by the general student body.
Best Place to Take a Walk
Tryon Creek State Park, just a five-minute walk from campus, features eight miles of hiking trails and gorgeous scenery.
