[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is elite level athlete?  You are either recruitable, or not recruitable.  [/quote]

Sometimes sailing, water polo, and equestrian is not a Div 1 recruit but bc of club teams they are quite valuable to a school if individual natl champs [/quote]

Water polo and equestrian are NCAA sports.[/quote]

Not at every school.

At most top private schools (other than Stanford, Cornell, Brown and Dartmouth) equestrian is a (competitive) club sport. Some schools are hoping to convert it to NCAA eventually.
[b]Yet some private schools in T25 are actively looking for nationally ranked equestrians.[/b][/quote]

The nationally ranked part is what I have seen missing in the back and forth about sports and team captains. People are correct when they say that being the captain on a random HS team isn't a real strong EC. But they are incorrect in believing that being the captain and a player on a nationally ranked team isn't a strong EC, it's an outstanding EC. It's the level of excellence that matters. Virtually every kid on a nationally ranked top 20 basketball team is recruitable. Choosing not to play doesn't diminish the accomplishment.[/quote]

Looks like yesterday’s troll has returned.  You know, the one making outlandish claims about 5th grade algebra and refusing to respond for requests for details from multiple posters.

Please stop wasting our time with your nonsense.[/quote]
