Pictures: Eve Grantiz Covenant Warrior athletics is a major part of what connects the student body with each other and allows us to grow as servants in Christ. From football games with fun themes or close soccer games that go down to the wire in conference play- there is always something going on to bring Covenant together. But there is a standard to which these student-athletes must live up to. There goal is to be a Christ-like example both on and off the field. Working on balancing schoolwork and sports is tough, but it allows them to grow as people and teaches them life skills for the future. All the athletes I talked with had the collective trait that Covenant Athletics is challenging and rewarding all in one. Warrior Athletics prepares you for life beyond Covenant on another level compared to other schools. It helped them grow as people and build friendships that benefited them during their time here and beyond.

What is the Culture around Covenant Athletics?

Track runner Aaron Manning ('23) talked about the team culture as " a close-knit group of people who are fun to be around and are dedicated to work hard and get better every day."

How do students manage to balance homework and sports? What do students gain from being a student athlete at Covenant?

Soccer player Ayli McNeil ('24) said that " through sports, I was able to make some of my best friends, and it really helped me get through the stress of school. I was able to talk with people about my problems and feel safe doing it, and it really helped me."

Soccer player Caleb McCrory ('25) said that "As a sophomore and freshman, I had to learn how to navigate through sports and homework is new ways. Covenant does a great job of challenging student in that way, but also helping us find ways to manage it all and teach us important time management skills for life beyond Covenant."
