tradition of excellence we have established in our
athletic programs is pervasive throughout the institution. It extends into the classrooms, labs, art gallery,
residence halls and beyond as well as on the playing
fields. Our athletic teams are regionally and nationally ranked in part because our coaches set high

excellence of the Colby-Sawyer community, please

contests and at other oncampus events to which
you may be invited. We
love it here and we know
you will, too.
Welcome to Colby-Sawyer Athletics!
We invite you to become part of a proud tradition of
athletic excellence. Our student-athletes excel in the
classroom as well as on the playing fields and we are
extraordinarily proud of their accomplishments everywhere on campus. Our coaching staff is committed to providing each and every student-athlete with
a positive learning experience promoting a strong
work ethic, good sportsmanship and a commitment
to team and college.
Colby-Sawyer offers a wide array of team sport
opportunities, always competitive regionally, with
teams often challenging for Commonwealth Coast
Championships and a bid to the NCAA Division III
