Penn Cross Country qualifying for Nationals didn’t play out in the way you’d expect. The women, having just placed third as a team at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship meet, spent the first half of the ride back to campus with their collective breath held.

Penn loves beating Princeton. That sentiment is as old as the Penn-Princeton rivalry itself. Ask any Penn athletics fan and they will likely tell you that a win against Princeton is a slight notch below an Ivy League championship.

Success breeds success. After dominating seasons last year, Penn squash will look to build upon its excellent foundations with stellar new recruits for this go around.

You can’t say it was an ordinary offseason for Penn squash. In a move that showed great faith in the Quakers' coaching staff, it was announced that both Jack Wyant and Gilly Lane would be getting promotions in the Penn squash program.

For one of the lower-profile teams on campus, Penn squash sure did have one heck of a 2015-16 season.

As Penn squash counts down the days until they set off on this newest adventure, the teams will be looking to their captains to see which direction they’re headed. Last season was undoubtedly a triumphant one for both sides of the Red and Blue.

January 14, 2017. Head coach of Penn women’s squash Jack Wyant may not personally have the date circled on his calendar, but the eyes of the college squash community will undoubtedly be on Philadelphia as Harvard heads to Ringe for a rematch of last year’s Howe Cup finals. But before either team makes it to that January matchup, they’ll have to battle through the brunt of their non-conference slate if they want to retain their spots at the top of the CSA rankings.

Take an easy-going, gun-slinging quarterback from California.

Both Green and sophomore sabre Julian Merchant traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin this past weekend to participate in the November North American Cup where they finished 21st and 32nd respectively out of 210 fencers.

In the wake of an exhaustive election season during which major party candidates displayed questionable leadership qualities, it will perhaps bring some amount of solace to know that the future of the men’s and women’s cross country team rests in caring and capable hands.

It was a big week for Penn sports, with three athletes receiving individual awards.

At the end of a historic week, marked by the results of the presidential election on Tuesday night, Penn Cross Country added a little history of their own, with the women’s team earning the program’s first selection to the NCCA Championships, placing third at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals on Friday “It is very exciting,” Coach Steve Dolan said after learning that the women’s season would continue for one more week.

In the movie business, sequels rarely hold up to the original. It’s tough enough to make one good movie, and even more difficult to make another one with the same cast of characters. After entering the 2015 season ranked sixth in the Ivy League preseason media poll and dropping three of its first four games, Penn football won six straight to share the Ancient Eight title with Harvard and Dartmouth.

This Saturday the Penn men’s and women’s swim teams were victorious in their meet against Villanova.

A man listed at 6-foot-11 and 265 pounds is inevitably going to leave some big shoes to fill. While the sample size is small with only the first game of the post-DNH era underway, it’s fair to say the Red and Blue have found their post presence of the future.

“We’re capable of performing a lot better.” Penn football’s coach Ray Priore didn’t mince words when he assessed his team’s performance in their 28-0 loss at Princeton last weekend.

Campaign season is just wrapped up, but another season is just getting started. Penn men’s basketball will travel to Robert Morris this Friday to kick off its 2016-17 campaign.
