About Hartwick Basketball

Oneonta, New York, United States
Hartwick is among the North East’s elite liberal art colleges both academically and athletically. Hartwick has a reputation of academic excellence and offers a most diverse selection of degree programs, with a strong emphasis on a liberal arts education. Our campus is truly beautiful. We are located on a scenic 425-acre site on the northern slopes of New York’s Catskill Mountains, in Oneonta, a town considered by some experts to be among the top ten best college towns in America. Hartwick offers a small college atmosphere; as the student/faculty ratio is 11 to 1, and the average classroom size is 15. Yet we are only 70 minutes from the state capital, Albany, and two and a half hours from New York City. This setting provides an ideal atmosphere academically, athletically, and socially for the aspiring student-athlete. Combine these facts with tremendous facilities, a great schedule, and a major commitment to the basketball program, and you can see why Hartwick basketball has made the final four and is a true Division III Giant! As a member of the Empire 8 Conference, Hartwick competes successfully in one of the premier Division III conferences in the country.

Meet the Hartwick Hawks- Freshman JONATHAN ZEHE

My name is Jon Zehe from Erie, PA. I played basketball all four years of high school and now I’m playing at Hartwick College in Oneonta NY. I’ve played basketball basically my whole life. During my senior year of high school, one week before the playoffs I broke my knee and had surgery. The surgery put me out for a little over six months. Finally after rehabbing all summer, I am ready to play.

Even though I live in Pennsylvania, I dislike every Pittsburgh sports team. I am a Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, and a Los Angeles Lakers fan. I love watching professional sports and enjoy following my favorite teams.

I have two older sisters who attend Tampa University and Penn State University. Even though my siblings go to large schools, I am happy that I am at a small college because I can make better connections.

I’m happy where I am at, and I can’t wait for the games to start.
