Athletics, school spirit

My junior d loves everything about WashU - the campus, her chosen program facilities and the students she’s met - with one exception: the apparent lack of school spirit for the athletics teams, some of which are very successful. She is both an good student and a varsity athlete in two sports at a high school that is competitive both for academics and athletics (several state championships). She’d like that same atmosphere in a college. While she does not plan to play a sport in college, she’d like to go somewhere where there is at least a modest amount of school spirit for athletics. She is interested in architecture, which takes up a lot of class/studio time, so she is looking for the diversion. Is WashU a “reach” for that?
