Rising junior Mark Andrew competed in the 100 yard freestyle, the 400 yard IM, and the 200 yard IM at the 2017 Phillips 66 National Championships and World Championship Trials.

The summer is not an off season for any Division 1 athlete, especially not Mark Andrew, a rising junior on the men’s swim team. Andrew competed at the 2017 Phillips 66 National Championships and World Championship Trials in Indianapolis, Indiana from June 27 to July 1, one of the most competitive meets in the country.





Baseball vs. Cornell at Meiklejohn Stadium

After four stellar years at Meiklejohn stadium, 2015 Penn graduate and left-handed pitcher Ronnie Glenn was taken in the 22nd round of the Major League Baseball draft.

These are not taken lightly by the athletes, as the top two juniors in each event will see themselves through to Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, while seniors have a shot at London’s IAAF World Championships this summer.

One of the most ubiquitous of these routines is the pregame playlist.
