[quote=Anonymous]Don't kid yourself.  STA tries, unsuccessfully, to get kids who are strong in sports, but boys who are really strong in sports want schools with great athletic reputations and records of success.  They may have the potential to be an athletic star at STA, but not many will be paying attention. Not to mention that coaches and teammates will not match their talent and move them in a positive direction forward.  Lots of teams have loosing records at STA and don't garner the respect of the recruiting world.  Boys will be far more successful if they attend Prep, Landon, Gonzaga, SJC than STA.

And please don't come back with the worn out statement that STA doesn't lower their standards for sport recruits. First of all, not all athletically strong kids are academically challenged. It is offensive and close minded to think so. That being said, I know several athletic boys who applied to 9th last year and were admitted if they agreed to repeat 8th, which they did.  Schools like Mater Dei get a lot of flack on this board for this practice, but schools like STA do it also.  Glass houses, people, glass houses.[/quote]
