Rhodes College Athletics

Rhodes College has a storied Cross Country program with success at the conference, region, and national levels.  Over the past twenty years, Rhodes has won multiple conference championships within the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC).  Under the guidance of Robert Shankman, the Lynx are consistently represented by male student-athletes at the Division III NCAA Cross Country Championships.  We are looking for student-athletes who are committed to success in the classroom and making an impact on the team.  Being a student-athlete is demanding, but we feel the experiences of being on a cross country team will only enhance your time at Rhodes.  If you would like to find out more about our cross country program please fill out a recruiting questionnaire.  We look forward to talking to you and telling you more about Rhodes College!
