• A Tradition of Excellence

  For generations, Cranbrook student-athletes have competed successfully at the high school, collegiate, national, and professional levels.
  
  

  Cranbrook teams have won more than 100 state championships. Our alumni include Heisman Trophy winner Pete Dawkins ’55 and Tewaaraton Award winner Izzy Scane ’19, winners of two of the most prestigious individual awards in college sports. Cranbrook graduates have competed professionally, represented the United States in international competition, earned All-America honors, and built careers throughout the sports world.
  
  

  Athletics at Cranbrook are about more than wins and awards.

  Competition teaches students how to prepare, lead, handle adversity, work with teammates, and commit to something bigger than themselves. Those lessons are an important part of the Cranbrook experience.
  
  

  What our students accomplish here matters. So does where the experience takes them next.

• An Extraordinary Place to Compete

  Few schools offer an athletic setting quite like Cranbrook.
  
  

  The Thompson Oval, with Del Walden Field at its center, is unlike any high school athletic venue in the country. Its setting, history, and architecture make it one of the most distinctive places to compete on campus.
  
  

  The Cranbrook Tennis Complex and Williams Natatorium have earned recognition for their design and quality. Wallace Ice Arena has been home to generations of Cranbrook hockey players, including athletes who later competed in the NHL.
  
  

  Cranbrook’s new Athletic Performance Center was designed to support the way athletes train today, with a focus on injury prevention, speed, agility, strength, and overall performance. It gives students a place to train more effectively and become faster, stronger, and more durable athletes.
  
  

  The Lower Fields, Keppel Gymnasium, and other athletic spaces across campus add to a collection of facilities that reflects both Cranbrook’s history and its investment in athletics.
  
  

  These are places where students train, compete, win championships, spend time with teammates, and build memories that stay with them long after they leave Cranbrook.

• Beyond the Game

  Being a serious athlete at Cranbrook doesn’t mean being only an athlete.
  
  

  We encourage multi-sport participation and want students to take advantage of the range of opportunities available here. A Cranbrook athlete can compete for a championship, perform on stage, join a student organization, try something new, and challenge themselves in the classroom.
  
  

  That range of experiences is part of what makes Cranbrook different.
  
  

  Athletics are not separate from the education students receive here. They are part of it.
