Running the Curve

Oglethorpe University’s athletics have been on the rise of late: Men’s Basketball is about the wrap up the 4th seed in the SCAC tourney, Baseball is off to their best start in school history and the Men’s Golf squad returns to the green as the defending DIII champs. But the biggest over-achievers on campus are the Men’s and Women’s Cross Country teams.
