Loyola Keeps Turning Out Ivy Leaguers
Incoming offensive lineman Jonathan Summers is one of a handful of track athletes at Loyola High School of Los Angeles headed to Ivy League schools. Another is set for Stanford. Dartmouth already has two Loyola products on the field in safeties Ian Wilson and Casey Frost. Senior Joe Killefer, a tight end until this fall, also came out of the Loyola program. What gives? The LA Times takes a look. ...
Speaking of college admissions, the New York Times has been following the athletic recruiting dance at Pennsylvania's Haverford College all year. The latest story in the series shares how things turned out. It's an interesting read including bits about the athlete who surprised Haverford by announcing she was going to Harvard ("her advisers had said it would be 'virtually suicidal' to disclose that she had applied to Harvard because it would demonstrate a lack of interest in Haverford") and another who was turned down by Haverford but accepted by Brown.
