Track and field is all about small moments and enormous stakes. It’s about a series of small moments that accumulate to become something much greater than the sum of its parts. Think about a pole-vaulter making an approach.

Contrary to the sport’s name, Penn softball balled awfully hard this weekend. The Red and Blue took three out of four games in a home-and-home matchup with Columbia this weekend, which — coupled with a pair of losses by Princeton — clinched the Ivy League South Division title for the Quakers.

The Red and Blue's weekend started Saturday afternoon when they squared off with the Lions in the Big Apple.
For Penn women's lacrosse, Sunday was a day of lasts. The home game against Cornell was the last time that the Class of 2015 would step onto Franklin Field in the Red and Blue during the regular season, and the win was earned in last-minute fashion thanks to some late game heroics. In what was a great statement game, the Quakers (12-3, 6-1 Ivy) were able to fend off the Big Red (9-6, 4-3) and cap off their regular season with a 10-9 win. After letting up two quick goals from Cornell, the Quakers went on a 5-1 run and carried a comfortable 6-3 lead.

The cost of any potentially offensive joke can be redeemed if they’re clever enough — so much so that the audience recognizes the intention and structure is to be funny, and not that its choice of topic matter is inherently funny. In the case of Trevor Noah, he comes off as reckless.
