Come Friday morning, a bus full of track stars will roll out of Philadelphia and end in Ithaca. With it: a season‘s worth of work, dreams, and authentic promise.

The real challenge was getting there. When both Penn teams travel to nationals this weekend, they do so knowing that the hardest parts of the season are all things of the past.

They say there’s no “I” in team; all players are created equal. But Penn men’s basketball will be soon be reminded that some players are more equal than others, as the Quakers will take on four of the conference’s top players when Cornell and Columbia visit the Palestra this weekend. The Red and Blue will first square off with the Cornell (9-15, 2-8) on Friday night.

Nelson-Henry has as dominating of a presence as life allows. 

As Drake so eloquently said, “Started from the bottom, now we here.” For Max Reed, that story is all too true. The freshman from Lebanon, N.H., has taken a unique and — at times — bumpy path in his short career, but certainly is back on top.

A coach, a lawyer and a swimmer walk into a bar. Sounds like the beginning of bad joke.

It was a bittersweet weekend for the Red and Blue. This past weekend, Penn fencing dominated the arenas of Philadelphia during the Temple Invitational and the Quakers’ very own Philadelphia Invitational.

In its first action since a busy weekend where the team went 1-2 against three ranked Ivy squads at the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament, Penn men’s tennis rebounded swiftly with a 6-1 defeat of New Mexico.

Penn may not be best known for cranking out young superstars, but after this year, they just might.

Led by former Penn graduate student and current Penn math professor Nakia Rimmer, the Penn Basketball Analytics Group is in its first year of operation.

Penn basketball topped Brown by a score of 79-74 on Friday night at the Palestra before falling 79-58 to first-place Yale on Saturday.

Records are made to be broken — and for Penn men's track, another record fell on Saturday. At the Millrose Games, distance runner Tom Awad continued his torrid pace — literally — as he set a new Ivy League record for the mile time.

All winning streaks must come to an end, and Penn wrestling’s 13-year string of victories over city rival Drexel came to an end Saturday night.

It was a tough test for the Quakers. And unfortunately, it wasn't curved. Penn basketball fell 79-58 to first-place Yale (18-6, 9-1 Ivy) on Saturday night at the Palestra.

On a day marked by inexplicably high temperatures, Penn men’s lacrosse generated some heat of their own.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. At halftime, Penn men’s basketball trails Ivy-League leading Yale by only five points as the Eli lead, 37-32.

They say basketball is a team sport. Penn basketball proved that axiom true on Friday, as they downed Brown, 79-74, in a well-rounded effort that featured five different players scoring in double figures.
