[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]09:23, you need to brush up on history.  8th/9th STA grade lax teams do quite well.  My kids' team won the IAC JV title.  But the lax teams in the DMV don't really grow their teams from grade school up.  Heck, Prep starts up at 9th grade.  Landon,  Bullis, SJC et al don't start recruiting until high school.

You also seem to think your kid's grade is more athletic than any recent prior years.  You fuel the reputation of STA as a non-athletic school.  Soccer is a perennial winner.  Crew is untouchable.  Every year, upwards of a dozen (or 20%) of the graduating class gets recruited to play at some of the best colleges in America for a wide range of sports including lacrosse.  STA has always had talented and gifted athletes.  With classes of between 75-80 boys, they just don't have the depth to compete with the powerhouses.  If they dropped to a more level conference, which I do not condone, they would be pummeling the competition.

Look, I don't mean to be a sour puss.  I just think parents like you in posting humble and not so humble brags about STA athletic rise does everyone a disservice and throws to  the STA bashers in particular some tasty red meat to be devoured.[/quote]

20% of STA seniors are not committed athletes. Maybe a few decades ago, but not today. The school is becoming less and less athletic each year and their athletic commitment numbers do not compare to other local peer schools.[/quote]

I think it's probably closer to 15%.  STA has small graduating classes.  So 12 commits out of a class of 80.  Not a lot.  But still a fair percentage.[/quote]
