W. Track faces hated rival: Tigers

Sunday's Princeton Relays brings the Penn women's track team into the heat of the Quakers-Tigers rivalry. Although the more important dual meet between these two schools is not for another two weeks, the competition this weekend is still important. "I would like them to put a little fear into Princeton this weekend," coach Betty Costanza said. The battles between Penn and Princeton have been close throughout the years. During the last five years alone, they have tied and Penn has won by one point. The one-point victory was especially memorable for senior co-captain Nicole Maloy. Penn was losing, and the upcoming relay event would be one of the last. Jenee Anzelone began the last leg behind the Tigers' runners. However, by the end of the relay, Anzelone pulled ahead to give the Quakers the victory. Although this is not a direct competition between the two schools, Maloy said, "Anytime we're at Princeton, that's what is on our minds." Costanza believes Penn has the edge in the high jump. She expects the outstanding combination of Maloy and Tiffany Archer to finish first and second, with Satsuki Mitchell close behind. Maloy and Archer have already placed in the first two spots twice. Costanza said Princeton, which is "out to beat us big time," will dominate the distance events. Although she is happy with the performance of the freshmen and Jane Kim, she is disappointed with many of the upperclassmen middle-distance runners. "I need my seniors to set a precedent," Costanza said. "There's no reason that at this level we should not be running far better." Jamila Northington is coming off her record-setting performance last weekend at the Yale Invitational. She realizes the importance of competing with Princeton. "It always comes down to us and them," Northington said.
