Dartmouth’s athletic prowess includes four NCAA team championships with national titles in skiing (1958, 1976, 2007), highlighting its winter sports supremacy. Men’s golf claimed the 1921 national championship, and a historic undefeated 8-0 football season in 1925 marked a gridiron pinnacle. Track and field has produced 23 Olympians earning 13 Olympic medals, including four golds. The rugby program has achieved national prominence with back-to-back Collegiate Rugby Championship titles in 2011-2012, televised on NBC. Women’s sailing captured three national championships. Dartmouth supports a broad athletic program spanning 34 varsity sports, fostering championship excellence throughout. Memorial Field, a tribute to World War I heroes and nestled in the White Mountains, presents a striking and historic athletic atmosphere where the fight song “As the Backs Go Tearing By” resonates. With approximately 75% of students participating in athletics, Dartmouth’s culture embraces tradition, community, and the relentless pursuit of championship glory.
