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- Junior MARTIN MCCANN

My name is Martin McCann and I am currently a junior at Hartwick College. I am from Hopewell Junction, NY and I attended Our Lady of Lourdes High School in Poughkeepsie, NY. I was born and raised in northern California. I root for the Golden State Warriors and the San Francisco Giants. My other favorite sports teams are the New York Giants and the New York Yankees. Although professional sports are enjoyable to watch, there is nothing like college basketball.

This past summer I worked as a coach and instructor at many different basketball camps. I worked at Hartwick's two basketball camps here on campus. In addition I worked at Stanford, University of Connecticut and Syracuse University's camps. It was a great experience to share my knowledge and love for the game with many young players.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my first two years at Hartwick College. Winning the ECAC's last year was a huge accomplishment for our program. I am extremely excited for the upcoming season and I cannot wait for games to start.
