Athletics & Recreation
Quick Links
More Teamwork. Less Divided.
Our active campus culture will inspire you to get up, get out and get moving. Play on one of our Division III athletic teams, join an intramural sport, take a yoga class or explore the great outdoors on one of our many hiking and biking trails. There's a collective understanding at Hartwick that when we move our bodies, we feel better. And when we collaborate — we thrive.
WE’RE BUILT FOR COMPETITIVE AND CASUAL ATHLETES.

Esports
Connect, collaborate and compete with other gamers in our esports club! WICKed Esports is a vibrant student organization committed to cultivating and expanding the gaming community and culture at Hartwick College.
Hawk Pride
With 21 NCAA Division III teams, it’s no wonder that almost a third of our students compete in varsity sports. Our rosters are filled with Empire 8 Rookies of the Year, All-Conference standouts and recognized President’s List scholars. As a Hawk, you’ll find the support you need to be a success both as a student and an athlete.
Not coming to Hartwick as an athlete? You’re still a Hawk! Help Swoop, our college mascot, cheer the players on from the stands.
