In 2006, the Statesmen Athletic Association Board of Directors instituted the recognition classification
Teams of Distinction to pay tribute to Hobart College intercollegiate teams of the past for their outstanding achievements in their respective athletic arenas and for their contributions to the athletic legacy of Hobart College.
Teams become eligible for Team of Distinction recognition 10 years after the completion of their season. Typically, a Team of Distinction has won a conference, regional or national championship; or been undefeated over the course of its season; or considered to be one of the “very best Hobart teams ever” in the respective sport; or has overcome exceptional challenges to be successful.
Members of the Teams of Distinction receive a specially designed etched cut glass award and their team photo earns a place of permanent display in the Hobart College Hall of Fame & Trophy Lobby in Robert A. Bristol ’31 Gymnasium.
Teams of Distinction are selected by the Statesmen Athletic Association Board of Directors. Nominations and supporting documentation can be sent to: SAA, Bristol Gym, Hobart College, Geneva, NY 14456.
