How are the athletics?

<p>I applied for Fall 2010 and I'm currently in talks with the head tennis coach about hopefully playing with the tennis team if I get accepted.</p>

<p>My question is: how are athletics at Oxy? Is there a big support for them? I know its only D3 so things are not quite as serious as a D1 school, but it would be nice to know that students are supporting their teams.</p>

<p>Also, if there are any athletes reading this (or anyone else who might know!), how rigorous is D3 athletics? Do they train every day? Or how many times a week?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>I’m a current frosh at Oxy, so if you have any other questions just let me know. Oxy Athletics are pretty well supported, even though we are a D3 school. For the few football games I attended, the stands were full and the crowd cheering. I’m not sure about the tennis team, but I do have friends on the ultimate frisbee, lacrosse, and rugby teams and from what it sounds like they always have people cheering them on at their games!</p>

<p>I was also supposed to be on the swim team, but had to quit due to a shoulder injury. The time commitment was pretty significant (morning weights four days a week, practice Monday-Saturday, and weekly yoga) so the program was rigorous. Don’t let that scare you, though! All of my friends who play sports here love it.</p>

<p>Hope that helped!</p>
