Welcome to the home of Rhodes Athletics, where we celebrate not just wins but also the character, commitment, and academic achievements of our student-athletes. We believe in excellence—in every game, every study session, and every community effort.
Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Teams Earn Championships
Rhodes Lynx men's and women's swimming and diving teams pulled off impressive Southeastern Athletic Association (SAA) conference title victories. The women's team earned their second championship, making them back-to-back champions, and the men's team won their first title in program history. The SAA named Taylor McNerney Newcomer of the Year, while Anabelle Morle won High-Point Diver of the Year. Rhodes also earned SAA honors with Coach Steve Webb earning Coach of the Year for both the men's and women's teams.
Over 130 Lynx Student-Athletes Named to 2023 SAA Honor Roll
More than 130 student-athletes from Rhodes College Athletics programs were named to the Southern Athletic Association Conference's Athletic Honor Roll for the Fall 2023 semester. To qualify, student-athletes from the SAA's eight schools must have posted a minimum GPA of 3.25 for the semester and been members of a conference-sponsored varsity sport. The Fall 2023 Honor Roll includes the sports of men's cross country, women's cross country, football, field hockey, men's soccer, women's soccer, and volleyball.
Rhodes Claims SAA Commissioner's Cup
Rhodes captured the 2022-23 SAA Commissioner's Cup with four conference titles and eight runner-up finishes during the academic year. Rhodes has won the cup four times in conference history, also taking the crown in 2015, 2018, and 2019.
“From the first athletics staff meeting of the year, until the final horn at yesterday’s Women’s Lacrosse NCAA Tournament game, our goal has been capturing the 2022-23 SAA Commissioner's Cup,” said Director of Athletics Jim Duncan. “Winning the Cup takes the effort of 529 Lynx student-athletes and the entire athletics staff. Our athletic success, combined with 400 student-athletes earning All-SAA academic honors, meets our high expectations of the championship culture we are building at Rhodes.”
