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 TRAVIS NALLY


My name is Travis Nally and I am a freshman at Hartwick College from Boston, Massachusetts. Although I live over four hours from Hartwick, I felt that the education at Hartwick was too good to pass up. I am sociology major and I hope to become a Boston police officer, or at least something in the field of criminal justice. I feel that the small school setting at Hartwick is perfect for me; the professors are willing to go out of their way to see you succeed in the classroom.

Basketball wise, the team and Coach McGuinness have both welcomed me into the Hartwick program. Everyone in the program is very dedicated and I am looking forward to spending the next four years here.
