[quote=Anonymous]Again, there is not one independent school that dominants a sport outside of lacrosse. Flint Hill used to be a strong in B-Ball. In general, independent schools are meant to prepare kids for acceptance to the top colleges and universities. Athletics are meant to assist in that process. The Landon websites advertises a few of its seniors that have signed LOIs with Div I programs but all in what most people would consider non-significant college sports (lacrosse and golf).

Most people would consider a school a major program when they start to consistently place kids in top colleges and onto the pros. That is not the IAC.

Also, IMHO, the Ivy League is not a serious athletic conference. Sure, they produce strong student athletes but so does Stanford and Stanford does it by successfully competing against the best. I think it is great that a STA kid was newcomer of the league in the Ivy League but I would be more impressed if he started at Notre Dame,  Stanford or Duke. [/quote]
