[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stick to WCAC[/quote]

...if you think you're good enough to play football or basketball at the next level.  Or you can't afford the cost of an IAC education, which, let's face it, is what those schools are there for.  Nobody that has the option picks St. John's, GC or DM over Prep unless you're an [i]elite [/i]athlete.  GZ is a different story and actually has an identity of it's own.[/quote]

Prep is [b]not[/b] trying to be like the WCAC schools athletically. Prep is a strong academic school in a good athletic conference - the IAC - with other strong academic schools (i.e. STA, Landon).

The pp was responding to another poster’s comments that Prep athletics are equivalent to WCAC. [/quote]

The only reason the WCAC came up was the mention of elite sports at Prep, which someone said was not the level of Gonzaga.  In actuality the PP mentioned elite sports at Prep in regards to another posters comment that Prep can't compete with Sidwell.  Prep is definitely elite level in comparison to Sidwell.  And to the Gonzaga comments, not many Prep families or students are worried about Gonzaga's level of sports compared to Prep's.  If a talented athlete goes to Prep he will have just as many opportunities to be recruited for good colleges as a Gonzaga athlete and the academics at Prep definitely put him a step above Gonzaga scholar athletes.[/quote]

Could you say the same if it were SJC or DeMatha you were comparing the athletics too? Just curious. [/quote]
