Meet the Hawks- Freshman Victor Angeline


Hey, my name is Victor Angeline, and I’m a freshman here at Hartwick College. I went to Rutgers Preparatory School in Central New Jersey, and I am having a good start to my college experience here in Oneonta, NY. I am majoring in Economics and minoring in French, but I will probably add another minor depending on the branch of Economics I look to study.


As far as basketball, one of my greatest moments was winning the Prep B State Championship in my junior year of high school, where we came back from 20 points down in the first quarter to claim the title in the final minutes of the fourth in a packed gymnasium. Here at Hartwick, we have a great group of guys on and off the court, and I am looking forward to having a successful season.


Aside from class and basketball, I enjoy watching movies and keeping up with television sitcoms and latest sports news. Back home, I love to spend time with my family and catch up with friends.
