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.

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.

Opening day is meant for mistakes. It’s a chance to find errors and correct them. But for Penn women’s rowing, no errors could be found. The Quakers cleaned up in all four races this Saturday against visiting squads from Boston College and St.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. After a rousing comeback to win the first game 8-4, Penn softball dropped the second game of their doubleheader by the score of 13-0 to Army on Friday night at Penn Park.

A five game win-streak is quite a feat. But when one of those wins is on the road against a ranked team, the streak looks that much better.

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.

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

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.

Junior outfielder Leah Allen strides from the dugout to the batter’s box, pounding bass echoes through the relatively empty stands at Penn Park.

When the Quakers face St. John’s this Saturday, they will do so with the same mentality if they were pitted against Ivy league rivals such as Harvard or Dartmouth.

Back on the last weekend of February Penn Gymnastics had a chance to defend its Ivy Classic Title.

The Quakers fought tooth and nail to emerge victorious from a historically competitive Ivy League.

They've been so close, they could almost taste it. For consecutive years, Penn softball has reigned supreme in the Ivy South Division.

Following last May’s season-ending loss in the Ivy League Championship Series to Dartmouth, Penn softball said a heartfelt goodbye to a talented group of graduating seniors.

Penn is having deja vu all over again. Two years ago, the Quakers beat Princeton on the road to clinch the Ivy League title and then traveled to College Park, Md., to face Texas.
