Men's Swimming

Women's squash will look to push further in 2016-17 with a national championship. They currently are one of the few winter sports poised to steal a national title along with their male counterparts, and sophomore Reeham Salah will play a role in that.

The winter sports season is right around the corner. In anticipation, our editors debated: Which team are you most excited to see play? Sports Editor Tom Nowlan: For me, the answer has got to be men’s hoops. A year ago, Steve Donahue’s first season as coach saw the Red and Blue overcome the loss of two star players: Tony Hicks sat out his final season of eligibility in order to use it at Louisville while Antonio Woods was ruled academically ineligible in January.




I set out to write this column about nutrition. As you’ll soon read, that’s not what happened. The idea came to me last Monday after morning practice when coach Mike Schnur gathered the men’s and women’s swim teams for a meeting.



After the graduation of NCAA Champion Chris Swanson, the spotlight will only further intensify on sophomore phenom Mark Andrew.

One thing’s for sure. Mark Andrew is no stranger to making a splash. After breaking out as freshman and smashing the Ivy League record in the 400 IM, his prowess in the pool has caught a lot of attention, and with the graduation of Penn swimming legend and NCAA champion Chris Swanson, the spotlight on Andrew will only brighten.




As Penn swimming and diving prepares for the new season, junior Carolyn Yang will spearhead the Red and Blue heading into the year's first tri-meet as Penn and Columbia pay a visit to New York to take on Army West Point.

Traditions are funny. Teams often start their seasons against the same opponent every year, and sometimes without good reason. But Penn swimming is breaking the mould with their first meet this year — and breaking out of their comfort zone in the process. For virtually as long as time itself, the Quakers have started their season with a dual meet against Columbia.


Junior Virginia Burns will anchor a strong group of women's distance swimmers in 2016-2017.

Penn Women’s Distance Swimming looks to build on last season’s success and has plenty of reason for optimism The Penn Women’s Distance Swim Team reached nearly unprecedented levels of success for the program last year, and come into this season overflowing with optimism and ready to meet the heightened expectations. It is no fluke that Mike Schnur was selected to be the 2016 Ivy League Women’s Coach of the Year.
