Elizabethtown College Athletics

Elizabethtown competes in NCAA Division III, meaning sports focus on personal development rather than big-time athletics with no athletic scholarships available. The Blue Jays field 20 varsity teams in the Landmark Conference. With 449 total athletes among 1,815 students, about 25% of the student body participates in varsity athletics. This high participation rate reflects the college's emphasis on well-rounded student experiences typical of smaller liberal arts schools. Division III allows students to balance competitive athletics with academic pursuits without the pressure of athletic scholarships or major media attention. The athletic program complements Elizabethtown's close-knit campus culture, where students can pursue sports alongside their academic interests in a supportive environment that prioritizes both personal growth and team achievement.
