<p>Oh, I don’t know. They claim to have the only varsity cricket team in the U.S. They’ve got a beautiful cricket pitch close to the center of campus. Problem is there’s no domestic intercollegiate competition. . . .</p>
<p>Seriously, though, Haverford has 21 varsity sports teams (including cricket) and claims that over 40% of its students compete on a varsity team. That sounds very much like “the idea of the student/athlete” to me. I have no idea how good their teams are, so I won’t speculate. I will say the place doesn’t seem to have much of a “jock” vibe in comparison to some other LACs, and my guess is that even among varsity athletes academics come first. As in “student first, athlete second.” But that’s just my subjective impression.</p>
