Though we may no longer be able to hear the zealous athletes shouting from the fields below the main quad or see them working hard on those same fields almost every afternoon, they have not departed all together. They are still there. They have just moved indoors in preparation for the inclement weather. With the move not only has the location changed but so have the sports being played as well as many of the individuals playing them.
Football gives way to wrestling, cross country gives way to indoor track.
Yet as much as the sports change and the individuals vary, the fact remains that every season the Trinity sports teams are bombarded with players hoping to participate. Just as there is a profusion of players willing to play there are just as many reasons for them to be there. They are as different from each other as the people participating are different from each other. Many people join sports teams to get in shape. That is one of the more basic reasons.
