The Inter-College Carter Shield has been won on two occasions, in 2005 and 2009. With many of the college JCR members representing their both University and College teams, with the support of the SCR, the first Grizedale College Colours for sport were awarded at the Christmas Ball of 2006 and the tradition has carried on, with the Sports Reps choosing suitable candidate for both Colours for Excellence and Extraordinary Commitment.

In addition to the Colours the Victoria Stockton memorial cup is awarded to a student displaying the most commitment to college sport. The cup was presented by Victoria's parents to Fr. Hugh Pollock in memory of their daughter who was the first sports representative in the college to win the coveted Carter Shield; and who died in the summer of 2006. The recipients are nominated by the Sports Reps before being approved by College Council.

A number of former College Colours recipients have gone on to receive University full colours and an England shirt belonging to rugby league player Tom Lever is on display alongside the former presidents board in the Porter's Lodge of the college.

Famous quotes containing the word sport:
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
The End”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
