[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some sports at harvard the athletes are dominated by international students. So its not even American athletes getting the boost. [/quote] Correct. [/quote] The odds of American kids being athletically recruited to Ivies for niche sports such as fencing, squash, field hockey,etc… are slim because of this.[/quote] Harvard Rosters Men's squash: 8 foreign 4 US Women's squash: 5 foreign 9 US Men's fencing: 1 foreign 13 US Women's fencing: 0 foreign 15 US Field hockey: 13 foreign 13 US Doesn't look like the odds are too bad for US students in niche sports. [/quote] I’m all for international athletes making these sports better and more competitive but these results show that the number of roster spots that kids from this country can fill are lower than what might be otherwise expected. This makes athletic recruiting even more difficult for many of these sports. [/quote]
