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- Senior KYLE PHILLIPS


My name is Kyle Phillips. I am a senior majoring in mathematics from Ashland, Massachusetts. I have two brothers. My older brother works for a printing company in Boston. Mt twin brother is a senior at Bowdoin College. My father is an engineer at Eaton and my mother is a retired elementary school teacher.

Born and bread in Massachusetts has made me a die hard Patriots, Celtics, and Red Sox fan. Over three years spent in New York I have warmed up to cheering for the Giants and Mets, but still have a very passionate hatred for the Yankees, Jets, and Knicks. I absolutely love college basketball and can’t wait for March Madness 2010.

The major reason why I came to Hartwick College is the people. Everyone has great character and integrity. I have built many lasting relationships from players, coaches, professors, and the student body. Hartwick is a very concise community where you can go to anybody for advice. I will always treasure my years at Hartwick as some of the best ever in my life.

I hope that our team focuses at the task at hand for another productive season which will further contribute to the overall success of Hartwick. I look forward to the coming months of practice, games, homework, tests, and finally graduation.
