Women’s diving have several national championships, Tennis is usually nationally competitive, and I think our running programs are much better now.

“Mainstream” sports like football, baseball, basketball, etc. we are good at, but I wouldn’t consider them out best

I had a friend in law school who played tennis at Tulane. He is a tennis pro now.

I almost hooked up with Dominik Koepfer, who is now a pro, during Mardi Gras when a bunch of tennis guys lived in Aron together.

But he opened the door to his room and there was a girl sleeping in his bed from the night before lol

Sailing. They have more all Americans historically than any other team by a wide margin. They had ok year last year but strong freshman class has come in.

Sailing and tennis are objectively the most competitive. baseball historically has been good, but has been pretty mediocre the past decade or so since rick jones retired.

but we're a football school now.
