History

[edit]

Amherst claims its athletics program as the oldest in the nation,[4] pointing to its compulsory physical fitness regimen put in place in 1860 (the mandate that all students participate in sports or pursue physical education has been discontinued).[5] One-third of the student body participates in sports at the intercollegiate level, and eighty percent participate in intramural and club sports teams.[4]

The game between Amherst College and Wesleyan University during the 2021 season has been coined as "The Mud-Bowl Miracle." In the 4th overtime of the game, after a fourth down conversion by junior RB Louis Eckelkamp, junior QB Brad Breckenridge completed a one-handed lob over his head to his favorite wideout junior Carson Ochsenhirt to score the winning touchdown. 5th year CB Ricky Goodson sealed the win shortly thereafter.[6]
