As their time at Hood College comes to an end, it can be seen that their time has been well spent over the past four years.
The class of 2016 was the first class to face competition within the Middle Atlantic Commonwealth Conference. There are 43 senior athletes who have competed for the Blazers throughout their time at Hood.
The class is made up of four multi-sport athletes, two student-assistant coaches, and the first baseball players to be recruited for the new premiere Hood College baseball team. There are several organizations whose presidents are student-athletes, such as the Student Government Association, SAAC/SPURS, and Mortar Board.
On Sunday, April 24, eight of the senior athletes were presented with athletic department awards. Two senior athletes were also presented with the White Blazer award.
