It’s springtime in Philadelphia and Penn track and field is gearing up for outdoor season. Three weeks removed from Ivy League Indoor Heptagonal Championships, this Saturday’s Philadelphia College Classic will be the first official competition for many members of the team in a while.

When it rains, it pours. In a game that featured a rare lightning delay, Penn baseball fell short on the road to Villanova 6-1. Many of the same issues that have been plaguing the Quakers (2-7) so far in the young season were prevalent once again in the team’s fifth consecutive loss. Conceding runs early in games has been one of the problems for the Red and Blue, and the early inning woes continued today. After allowing 10 runs in the first inning in just eight games so far this season, the Quakers found themselves down 1-0 in first frame once again when Villanova senior Adam Gross doubled to left-center field and later scored on a Todd Czinege single.

On Thursday, four Penn wrestlers will enter the world’s most famous arena for the year’s final tournament. If they have their way they won’t be leaving until Saturday, with a medal in their hands.

After breaking the Penn and Ivy League records for the mile back in February senior distance runner Thomas Awad finished in third place at the NCAA indoor track and field championships on Saturday afternoon in Birmingham Alabama. With a time of 4:06.97, Awad became just the fifth Penn athlete to earn All-American status during the indoor season. While he finished nearly ten seconds slower than his record setting 3:57.03 time from the Millrose games, Awad, in just his first trip to the NCAA indoor championships, was able to lock down a spot in the podium. Out of the gates Awad was not in the front of the pack.

Penn baseball is looking to improve after falling just short in each of the last two seasons. But after their roster was pillaged by the University's 2015 Commencement Ceremony, the Quakers will have to fight just to stay afloat. 

2015 sure ended up feeling a lot like 2014 for Penn baseball. Opening play on the year, the Quakers headed south — in more ways than one.

Yurkow and his Quakers don’t rebuild; they reload.

Penn baseball kicked off its season with a trip to Florida over Spring Break, going 2-6 over the eight-game stretch. The season got off to an ugly start with a 17-5 loss to North Florida in Jacksonville.

Being great, but not the very best. It happens to a lot of people. Scottie Pippen. Art Garfunkel. Pepsi.

The Quakers are entering the home stretch. The 2015-2016 season has been a rather successful one for Penn Fencing.

A trip to the Wild West proved to be just that – wild. With five teams on the docket – four of which were ITA ranked – the Quakers ventured to Colorado and California where they played out a very busy spring break schedule. Their time in the sun, however, resulted in few bright spots as the Red and Blue fell to all of their ranked opponents.

While most Penn students enjoyed a restful week off from classes to return to their families, Penn men’s lacrosse was hard at work, playing three games in seven days to close out the first part of its schedule before Ivy play begins.

Penn football announced the 2016 slate of games it will play in the quest to repeat last year’s Ivy title-winning campaign.

The Ivy League Council of Presidents voted to approve a four-team post-season tournament for men’s and women’s basketball.

Although the Red and Blue roared back from a 17-point second-half deficit, a pair of last-minute, game-winning opportunities fell short, and Princeton escaped with a 72-71 victory

It’s still unclear if Penn women’s basketball will qualify for the NCAA Tournament, but one team on campus already got a little taste of March Madness.

College kids across America are celebrating the arrival of spring break, and after today, Penn men’s lacrosse is likely no exception.
