Hall of Fame
Tracy Powers was a member of Hampden-Sydney 1974 senior class that posted a 34-8 overall record, won four consecutive Mason-Dixon Championships (1970, ‘71, ‘72, and ‘73), and appeared in two straight Knute Rockne Bowls. Noted for his powerful running style and good speed, Powers is only one of six Tigers to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season, while his 2,495 career yards place him sixth in the Hampden-Sydney record books. Powers rushed for a then-record 216 yards against Randolph-Macon his freshman season. That mark is now tied for second all-time for single game totals. His 56 carries against Macon is still a Hampden-Sydney record. In 1973, Powers was selected to the first team All-Mason-Dixon and All-Virginia Small College teams, in addition to his team Most Valuable Player and honorable mention All-America recognitions. Despite suffering injuries during the 1971 and 1972 seasons, Powers totaled 2,495 yards on 617 carries for a 4.0 yards-per-carry average.
