Competing in Division 1 NCAA athletics takes more than talent – it takes dedication, determination, and a willingness to get back up anytime you miss the shot. Competing amid a pandemic comes with its own set of obstacles. This is the time to rally behind our student athletes! This, Bobcats, is the time to rise.
Team Info:
- 11 conference titles
- 3.63 team GPA in the spring of 2021
- 17 All-American athletes
Meet The Athlete:
Kendra Sheehan '21 and current Physical Therapy Graduate Student
"One of my favorite aspects of playing for OHIO is knowing there is a close-knit community of Bobcat fans cheering you on wherever you go. I have been able to form amazing connections with each coach, teammate, faculty, and staff member, making me feel right at home in Athens."
"As a student athlete you spend a lot of time juggling school and sport, making it so important to have a support system to keep you on track. At OHIO our coaches and academic advisors have done an amazing job, making sure we are thriving in both. Through study hall hours, tutoring, and flexible meeting hours, there are so many opportunities to excel in the water/on the field and in the classroom."
"Coming in your freshman year you are faced with many expectations. Continuing through the program, you come to realize the importance of each tradition and high standard that the leaders before you have set. It is very important that we represent the school appropriately in and out of the pool and continue to set those expectations for the younger athletes."
