Led by passionate student-athletes and supportive coaches, Gettysburg’s athletics program reached new heights in 2024-2025.
The 2024–2025 academic year was one of the most successful in the history of Gettysburg College athletics. Fueled by the tireless commitment of student-athletes and the unwavering support of coaches, the Bullets delivered standout performances across the board—capturing multiple Centennial Conference (CC) championships, earning NCAA Division III championship berths, and setting new team and individual standards for success.
These achievements extended beyond the field of play, as Gettysburg student-athletes continued to excel in the classroom and expand their reach into the community. Their efforts culminated in the College’s best-ever finish in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, a true testament to all-around excellence in collegiate athletics.
