[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ does have students going to play D1 and recruited to play at Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, etc. However, [b]there are also TJ kids who could have pursued D1[/b] (have the talent) and do have coaches reaching out, but are preferring to attend a high academics college and not just going somewhere to play sports, so are not interested in being recruited. Those kids go on to do college club team --like Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Rowing, etc. 
And those of you who think the athletes have lower grades at TJ are just misinformed. Most by far also have high GPAs, because they have mastered the time management piece. Yes, many base schools are competing in higher level districts but TJ also has athletic superstars here and there --they just don't have 100% superstars on any one sports team, only 3-4.[/quote]

The bolded is correct. Exceptional athletes at TJ are always making the choice between continuing in their recruitable sport and optimizing their college admissions outcomes.[/quote]
