[quote=Anonymous]I think you're over thinking it. Almost any school public or private will tout athletics vis-a-vis college admissions. Not many schools seem to have such strong athletic programs in one sport like Landon - but they tout them nonetheless. A friend's son graduated from Thomas Jefferson in VA and was "the first athletic scholarship" athlete (he went to Div1 Lax and eventually captained their team). Another friend's son was at Sidwell Friends (another Captain) and went to another school to play Lax and it was noted prominently. A daughter's friend was a lax player who was recruited into Wellesley (sp??) blah blah blah. Every school does it. I wouldn't worry about it. Landon's obviously has some image issues - but hopefully that makes the school stronger and better to those that wish to change that reputation.[/quote]
