I sat staring at the computer in my guidance counselor's office. As soon as the clock hit the top of the hour, I think it was 5 p.m., I entered my information into the Penn admissions site and waited for the decision to pop up on the screen. But time after time the site crashed, and so for an hour and a half my heart rose and sunk.

LONDON -- All 33 students participating in the Penn-in-London summer program are safe following a series of explosions that rocked London during rush hour last Thursday morning.
LONDON -- At first I thought the news was innocuous, probably just a scheme from the Irish Republican Army.
LONDON -- Though London was rocked by a series of explosions during the rush hour Thursday morning, all 33 students participating in the Penn-in-London summer program are safe. Undergraduate English Department Chairman Michael Gamer, as well as professors David Wallace, Vicki Mahaffey, Rita Copeland and Ralph Rosen and his family are all safe as well. Most students are being housed at a hostel on Pembridge Gardens near Notting Hill Gate, which was not in harms way. However, a group of four students in the Penn-in-London program who are living in an apartment at the intersection of Harrowby and Brendan Streets was in the midst of the attacks. One of the Underground stations the students use regularly is Edgeware where a bomb ripped through two trains and killed seven people. At this point there is no indication that the students in London will be forced to return home. University officials phoned the parents of each student shortly after the bombings, stating they expected the program to continue. The British Transportation Police have put the total death toll at more than 50, although an official number has yet to be released. At least 700 people were injured in the blast, approximately 100 of which were held over in hospitals Thursday night. Sir Ian Blair, head of the British Metropolitan Police has said there is no doubt that the attacks were carried out by a terrorist cell operating in the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Tony Blair left the G8 summit being held in Gleneagles, Scotland to return to 10 Downing Street. After meeting with the government's emergency committee Blair read a statement, promising that Britain would not bow to the terrorists. "When they try to intimidate us, we will not be intimidated... When they try to divide our people or weaken our resolve, we will not be divided and our resolve will hold firm," Blair said. "We will show, by our spirit and dignity, and by our quiet but true strength that there is in the British people, that our values will long outlast theirs."
The Quakers will be heading to the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif., next week with a veteran, a rookie and a late entrant. Junior Courtney Jaworski will return to the NCAA Championships for the second straight year after finishing third in the 800-meter finals at the NCAA East Regional last weekend. His teammate, freshman Kyle Calvo, will head to the West Coast after claiming second in the long jump. On the women's side, senior pole vaulter Sam Crook earned an at-large bid to the championships after finishing in a three-way tie for seventh at Regionals. Jaworski almost did not make it past the preliminaries. He had the slowest qualifying time of any of the eight finalists with a 1:50.31 -- good for second in his heat -- which earned him a spot in the finals. Jaworski proved he belonged, however, running 1:50.1 in the finals -- earning him third place on Saturday. The relatively slow time in both the prelims and the finals did not surprise men's coach Charlie Powell. "I just kind of told him to punch your ticket to nationals and Courtney did that quite well," Powell said. "Now we believe he's really ready to go and run fast." Calvo had his best jump on his first attempt, leaping 7.61 meters. He was narrowly beaten by South Carolina's Greig Cryer, who hit 7.65. "I like to get after the first one," Calvo said. "It is a lot easier to put it out in the first jump than it is in the others because there is no real pressure." The freshman will have to deal with even more pressure when he heads to Sacramento, but Powell is confident that Calvo's experience from high school nationals will serve him well. He is "not in awe, [he is] not freaked out by the fact that everyone else is really good," Powell said. He "thrives on the situation and that's what the great athletes do." Calvo was not sure if he even had a shot at nationals, so qualifying was just icing on the cake. "I'm just having fun now. I have three more years after this." Powell, however, believes that Calvo could make some noise at the championships. "Basically, it all depends on his ability to stay cool and keep his focus. He has a great shot at making the finals, but it's going to take another 7.6-meter jump or better," the coach said. Crook had to wait a little longer to find out if she qualified after finishing outside of the top five at regionals and missing out on an automatic bid. However, four more vaulters were given at-large bids based on their best jumps throughout the season and Crook's vault of 13 feet 1 inch at the ECAC Championships on May 13 was her ticket to California. "I was just really, really nervous and anxious," Crook said. "I knew I was going to be either the last person to make it or the first person not to make it. It's kind of been my goal since freshman year to go to nationals, and this year I was so close." Once she found she made the cut she was ecstatic. "I'm just thrilled to be going." One of the meets biggest stories was Neil Wojdowski's failure to clear a height in the pole vault. The senior narrowly missed the finals at the NCAA meet last year and was an All-American contender. "That's just the way it goes sometimes. He was very disappointed of course," Powell said. "It's not the best way to go out but, he had four great years." Sophomore Grafton Ifill just missed out on the finals in both the 100m and 200m dashes, finishing 10th and ninth, respectively. The top eight qualified for the final. "Not much went wrong. He's had a great season," Powell said. "It's just when you run against some of the SEC guys, you run against some of the best guys in the world." Two school records fell for the women this weekend as senior Claire Duncan shattered her own school record in the 3000m steeplechase by nearly 10 seconds. She finished in a time of 10:29.33 -- 10th place at the meet. The 4x400m relay team of Jesse Carlin, Shaunee Morgan, Dana McCurdy and Izu Emeagwali continued their assault on the school record. They broke their own mark with a time of 3:39.09, finishing in eighth place. The women finished in 38th place and the men were 13th.

POTTSTOWN, Pa. -- The future of this season's Penn men's basketball team looks very promising, especially since the Quakers have a two and a half game lead in the Ivy League. But, at least for last night, the long-term future of Quakers basketball was riding the pine.
