2013 Iron Quaker Awards

Offseason workouts are now finished for Penn football, and although the real heavy lifting for the 2013 Quakers won't take place until this fall, quite a bit of it is already over - thanks to the seventh annual Iron Quaker competition.

Held at the Weiss Pavilion, the competition once again found the Quakers divided into three position-based groups - skill (RB, WR, DB), semi (QB, LB, TE) and big (DL, OL) - vying for awards given to those who lift the most weight in each group.
