Athletes on Non-Athletes:

"Society tells me I'm not an athlete because [fencing] is not a varsity' sport, but I feel like an athlete because I'm competing at a high level for the school. I practice as much as a varsity athlete." --Stuart Ghafoor '14, Fencing
"What's it like being an athlete? We get a lot of free stuff. Like friends." --Karoline Walter '13, Women's Rugby
"Going from being a non-athlete to an athlete, I can see now how people see a difference between the two." --Ankan Dhal '13, Men's Rugby
"I don't think [non-athletes] understand what it means to feel pressure, pressure to perform well, pressure to embrace more physical pain, pressure to keep a timely schedule. In a way, we are tough. In fact, we are probably tougher and more resilient." --James Lin '14, Cycling
