If all goes as planned for senior men’s track and field stars Thomas Awad and Sam Mattis, this June’s NCAA National Championships won’t mark the end of their respective 2016 seasons.

Penn track and field has its fair share of stars, and in 2015 all of the stars aligned.

Historically in athletics, men and women of respective professional sports do not train with or compete against each other.

Five track and field freshmen to watch out for in 2016

For the second consecutive weekend, Penn track and field will host a meet at Franklin Field, with Saturday’s Penn Challenge against Army, Manhattan, Rider, Villanova and Connecticut just days away. While there will be some similarities between the Penn Challenge and last weekend’s Philadelphia College Classic, sophomore Jeff Wiseman says there is a key difference in the level of competition. “The competition is a lot stronger,” he said.

If anyone had forgotten about Casey Kent last year, his performance in the 2015-16 season has served to jog their memories.

It was a strange moment. As I walked into the press room at the University of Maryland, I came across a fellow reporter quickly putting on his tie and grabbing his belongings to head down to press row. “The tip was moved up to 3:43.” Now, a full day removed from the game and that moment it’s strange to look back.

Over the course of a long season, teams need to find many different ways to win. Penn men’s baseball did just that in their home-opening series this weekend, taking two of three games from Binghamton.

It was a mistake to leave 174-pound senior Casey Kent unseeded. It became a mistake Kent made his opponents pay for.

Penn men’s lacrosse put on offensive clinic Saturday against Princeton (2-4, 0-1 Ivy) at the Tigers’ Class of ’52 Stadium, scoring eight more goals than their previous season-high of 12 to cruise to a 20-10 victory in their first Ivy contest of the season.

A 10-seed in the NCAA Tournament, the Quakers took on seventh-seeded Washington at College Park, Md., Saturday, falling in what was largely a tight contest, 65-53.

After watching his teammates struggle on the second day of the NCAA wrestling championships, 174-pounder Casey Kent made his opponents pay.

Family. One word describes Penn women’s basketball coach Mike McLaughlin’s program.

For the most part, Penn wrestling lives to fight another day at the NCAA Championships.

In collegiate wrestling, there exists a great disconnect between the NCAA and the Ivy League in their policies.

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.
