Skidmore College Athletics

One of the most exceptional players in the history of Men's Tennis, Will Crawford '01 helped elevate the program to a high level of national recognition. Crawford and James Davidson '01 captured the Eastern College Athletic Conference North Regional doubles title in the fall of 2000. 

That year, the senior swept the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Rolex East Regional Tournament without losing a single set, garnering All-American honors. Advancing to the 2000 ITA Rolex Small College Nationals, the pair finished seventh among the best teams in the country. The Thoroughbreds emerged as ninth-ranked doubles team in NCAA Division Ill-a career record.  

Men's Tennis team leader for his entire Skidmore career, Crawford also helped the Thoroughbreds claim two Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament championships (1999, 2001) and earn second place honors twice (1998, 2000)."He was willing to take on and challenge the toughest competitors we faced," recalls former Men's Tennis Coach Paul Arciero. "Will held the respect of his teammates, coaches, and our opponents."
