Lose in semi-finals of CUSA in tennis for both men and women.
Women 5th in Golf
Men tied for 6th in Gold after first round?
Add in disappointing finishes at the NCAA in swimming and our dominance is appearing to wane in this area of sports.

Since swimming and diving are Olympic events, I would prefer we not classify them as Country Club sports. However, the point is well taken. While golf and tennis don't have large rosters and the team part is a bit overstated, our rich swimming &n diving tradition is eroding. Our facilitites are not particularly attractive for training and/or competition and need to be addressed. More importantly, we need to revitalize these four teams, men's and women's swim and diving teams. I am afraid that they might resemble baseball and men's track & field and cross country, if we don't address these non-revenue sports. We are Division 1 and Top 25 in everything we do, aren't we?
