Seven More Kingswood Oxford Seniors Plan to Play Sports in College
Seven more Kingswood Oxford seniors have announced their intention to compete in athletics at the collegiate level, for a total of 21 members – or 22.5% -- of the Class of ’14.
This is a remarkably high number compared with national statistics, according to KO Athletic Director Sue Cabot.
“Only about 4% of the Class of ’14 nationwide will move on to play collegiate athletics,” she said. “Your dedication, hard work, and sacrifice – as well as the sacrifices of your parents -- have afforded you this opportunity, and on behalf of our entire athletic department, I congratulate all of you.”
