In preparation for this weekend’s Princeton Invitational, the athletes of Penn track and field will find themselves battling the ups and downs of a “runner’s high.”

Hopefully there's more of this on the way. As the 2014-15 academic year draws to a close, so too do the seasons for Penn Athletics' spring sports.

On the back nine in the final round of the Ivy League Men’s Golf Championships, Penn knew it was going to be close.

Scheduling big opponents used to be a staple of the Quakers’ slate. 

Done. After staging a miraculous late-season rebound to put itself in position to potentially qualify for postseason play, Penn men's lacrosse was eliminated from contention for the Ivy League Tournament on Saturday before taking itself out of postseason consideration with a loss to No.

Penn baseball knew it would be in for its greatest test of the season this weekend against an evenly matched opponent in Columbia. The Quakers  took the field on Saturday tied for first place in the Ivy League's Lou Gehrig Division hoping to clinch the title by winning at least three out of the four games.

Penn golf is just three good rounds away from a championship. Unfortunately, so is the rest of the Ivy League. Both the Quakers’ men's and women's teams will head to Bethlehem, Pa., on Friday to take part in the three-day Ivy Golf Championships.

Before the start of Penn men’s lacrosse’s Saturday night game, the team will know whether it secured the final spot in the Ivy League Tournament. Regardless, the Quakers will approach their matchup with No.

To paraphrase the famous hardball philosopher Yogi Berra, it’s deja vu all over again. For the second time in as many years, Penn baseball enters the final weekend of the regular season tied with Columbia atop the Ivy League’s Lou Gehrig Division. And for the second consecutive year, the Quakers (20-12, 14-2 Ivy) will face off with their foes from the Big Apple in a winner-take-all, four game series.

Penn freshman track and field star Mike Monroe loves to jump. And Mike Monroe can jump pretty damn high. This weekend, the young phenom will make his Penn Relays debut in the 121st running of the annual event.

Betraying its graceful appearance, rowing is a sport of force, finesse and teamwork. In the fastest of boats, the eights, the intricacies of the sport require a ninth man who steers—both literally and psychologically—the vehicle as it cruises forward.

Exactly one year ago today, Penn baseball stood tied atop the Lou Gehrig Division heading into a four-game series against Columbia. Some outside the program viewed their success as unexpected, shocking even.

Penn coach Steve Donahue takes a seat in the Palestra stands, overlooking a pick-up basketball game featuring his two of his assistant coaches.

For the second straight year, Penn baseball controls its own destiny with a four-game series against the Columbia Lions on the horizon. Princeton may have been the team in the opposite dugout this weekend, but for the Quakers, keeping pace with Columbia has been the chief concern as the race for the Lou Gehrig Division championship continues to gain steam.

Penn men’s tennis dropped its final two Ivy League matches over the weekend against No. 48 Cornell and No. 23 Columbia, completing a winless Ivy campaign.

During Spring Fling weekend, Penn’s lightweights went down. The Red and Blue’s rowing squad came up short in two separate events on Saturday, finishing second to Princeton in the Wood-Hammond Cup before falling to MIT in another race later in the day. The Wood-Hammond Cup — held early Saturday morning in ideal rowing weather on the Schuylkill River — pitted the Quakers against Princeton and guest participant Georgetown. Although Penn did manage to win the event’s first race at fourth varsity, it was its only victory of the day.

The Quakers held up their end of the bargain on Saturday. But now they need some help. Penn men's lacrosse pulled out a 15-12 victory over Dartmouth at Franklin Field in its last game of the regular season. The Quakers (6-6, 3-3 Ivy) celebrated Senior Day before taking on the Big Green (4-7, 1-4), but it was a junior who would provide the heroics in this match up, as attack Nick Doktor had the most explosive scoring game of his career, scoring five goals and notching three assists. "He's been very, very good all year for us," coach Mike Murphy said.
