Swim Club?
Wow the swim club came in fourth place a recent meet. Good for them, well done. I can’t believe VCU even has a swim club or any other club sports for that matter since the CT never covers their activities. For example if fourth place merits an article, then a league championship and a regional title ought to merit something close to a front page story. Oh, but that would require covering the Men’s Rugby Club. Who would want to take on that task? I mean, what sort of interest could there be in Rugby? The fact that the club was only restarted 4 short years ago after a five year hiatus isn’t really much of human interest story. Or the fact that the club started off slowly this season with 3 loses and a terrible showing at tournament. Realing off 5 straight victories including a State Championship (the Ed Lee Cup) and a Regional Championship (the Mid-Atlantic Cup) probably wouldn’t interest anyone and doesn’t make a great story. Even the fact that the Rams can win the East Coast Championship in the spring is probably a terrible yawnfest for all the students, faculty, staff and alumni that read the CT. So carry on, ignore the club sports at VCU. Afterall, what have they accomplished.
