Once a Thoroughbred, always a Thoroughbred. Numerous student-athlete alumni and Friends of Skidmore Athletics returned to campus for homecoming weekend, Sept 29 – Oct. 1. 

Athletes past and present connected on and off the field in celebration – and some friendly competition – as they reminisced and reaffirmed what it means to be part of the Skidmore Athletics family. 

Events kicked off Friday with the annual Thoroughbred Cup golf tournament. On Saturday, alumni, athletes, coaches, friends, and families gathered for the Skidmore Athletics Benefit and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Throughout it all, supporters contributed to the All in to Win campaign, raising $368,690 for Skidmore Athletics.
