The Athletic Program at Huntingdon is designed to provide opportunities for competitive athletics while enriching the total college-life experience of each student-athlete and of students in general. Opportunities are available for young men and women to reach their potential through performance, to further their experiences in teamwork, physical well-being, positive citizenship, and commitment to principles espoused by a talented coaching staff. Huntingdon students have come to expect fast-paced excitement and school-spirit building opportunities that accompany these competitive athletic events. Athletic success has been, and continues to be, an integral part of the traditions that make Huntingdon a very special undergraduate institution.

Athletics Program Philosophy Statement

The Huntingdon College Athletics Department believes that intercollegiate athletics is an integral component of a liberal arts education and that the student-athlete's self-actualization is enhanced by participation in amateur sports as they strive for academic excellence. Huntingdon College also seeks to establish and maintain an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity and emphasizes physical and mental well-being among its student-athletes and athletic staff. In pursuit of athletic excellence it is further believed that athletics provides the student-athlete the opportunity for self-discovery and to develop principles of discipline, fair play, sportsmanship, and ethical conduct. To facilitate this philosophy Huntingdon College is a member of the NCAA and participates under its Division III guidelines.
