ABOUT WESTERN MARYLAND ATHLETICS

McDaniel College is a private, independent institution in Westminster, Md., 30 miles northwest of Baltimore and 56 miles north of Washington, D.C., which emphasizes high standards and achievements in the liberal arts and sciences. The 22 Green Terror intercollegiate athletic teams compete in NCAA Division III and in the Centennial Conference, a group of 11 national liberal arts colleges and universities in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The other members of the Centennial are: Bryn Mawr College, Dickinson College, Franklin & Marshall College, Gettysburg College, Haverford College, Johns Hopkins University, Muhlenberg College, Swarthmore College, Ursinus College and Washington College.

The school's nickname is the Green Terror and colors are green and gold. During the summer months, McDaniel College athletics facilities serve as the home of the National Football League's Baltimore Ravens training camp.

The College's facilities include the Robert Joshua Gill Physical Education Learning Center, which houses a main gym that consists of one surface for games and three for practice or intramurals. The Gill Center facility also is home to the Blumberg Life Fitness Center, a complete weight room, training room, aerobics room as well as two classrooms, a large team meeting room, locker rooms and athletic staff offices. The College's volleyball, basketball and wrestling teams use the main wooden court for home games.

Adjacent to the Gill Center are four multi-purpose practice and game fields that are used in the fall by the football and soccer teams, and in the spring by the lacrosse teams. Also in the complex are Scott S. Bair Stadium, which is the home to Green Terror football and men's lacrosse; Preston Field for baseball; a field hockey field, softball field, and the Frank B. Hurt Tennis courts.

The Green Terror swimming teams train and compete in the Harlow Natatorium, which is located on the lower level of the Decker College Center. The College also owns and operates a nine-hole golf course on campus.
