Excellence wears Big Red.
Just as we strive for excellence in the classroom, we strive to be our best selves in competition. The lessons we learn on the playing field — in victory and in defeat — prepare us to meet challenges, embrace success and overcome setbacks.
And along the way, our student-athletes create bonds in the huddle and in the locker room that are as strong as those made at the Harkness table and in their dorms.

From Thompson Field House to Saltonstall Boathouse, Big Red plays in style.
