From Oberlin's Club Sports Athletes
As the leaders of the club sports at Oberlin College, we write this formal request on behalf of our teams for 1) access to professionals trained in sports medicine, and 2) access to team transportation to and from club sporting events.
Our request for access to basic safety measures is not new; we have requested this for many years. Nevertheless, our pleas have fallen on deaf ears. As club sports athletes, we continue to engage in strenuous and sometimes high risk physical activities without access to essential first aid and follow-up primary care. Additionally, as club sports athletes, we are continually required to drive long distances in our own cars to away contests and weekend tournaments.

The Oberlin Women’s Rugby Club is on the rise. The Rhino Ruggers have achieved great success this year with a strong spring season built off their extraordinary fall campaign. Their season came to a close as they competed in the Teapot Dome Scandal tournament at Ohio State University in Marion on Saturday, April 22.
There were 30 clubs in the tournament, 15 of which were women’s clubs. Oberlin faced off against the Wright State University Raiders in their first match of the tournament. The Rhino Ruggers were particularly pumped up, having been defeated by the Raiders two weeks earlier.
In the first half, the Rhino Ruggers went to work, gaining an early advantage with five tries. Senior Hannah Rechtschaffen scored a hat trick in the first half with three tries. The Rhino Ruggers went on to hold their lead in the second half and gain an impressive victory against a Division II opponent.

The charter has been pending for about two months now, but Park is willing to wait as long as it takes. Right now the group is an ad- hoc student organization, but "we're pretty sure we'll get chartered," said Park. "We hope to become an official club sport."
