Penn released its regular decision results at 5 p.m. on March 30, and for 9.15 percent of applicants, Thursday was a dream come true. Spanish River Community High

School senior Sydney Balfan was brought to tears by the news of her acceptance. “My mom went to Penn. A lot of her family died, she was on welfare and she was living alone, so it was a really big deal for her,” Balfan said. “And then now when I got in, I started hysterically crying.” Balfan said she ran to her mom’s room, and her mom began to cry

as well. Balfan has visited Penn three times throughout her life, and she made sure to tour the school once without her mom. “I didn’t want her bias to get in the way,” she said. “But every single time I visited, I loved it so, so much, and I loved the people there. It really changed my mom’s life, and ever since she told me

all about Penn, I just always did research about it and just fell in love.” Millburn High School senior Victoria Mak, like most applicants, experienced a good deal of stress in the moments leading up to the decisions release. “I kind of cloistered myself

TIME AT PENN Ivanka was generally described as polished and hardworking CAROLINE SIMON Senior Reporter

n Sunday, May 16, 2004, hundreds of newly minted Wharton graduates received their degrees at a ceremony on Franklin Field, about to start prestigious first jobs throughout the business world. Those graduates, now in their thirties, have risen to top positions at investment banks, earned Ph.D.s and founded their own companies. One of them is about to become the most powerful first daughter in American history. Ivanka Trump played a major role in her father’s campaign and recently announced she would stay on as an unpaid White House employee in a West Wing office, protected by the Secret Service. She’s painted herself as a polished, professional woman, balancing her high-powered career with her family responsibilities. Her advocacy for women in the workforce — which she has continued during her father’s presidency — has often stood at odds with President Donald Trump himself, who has been lambasted for making offensive comments about women. According to interviews with several of Ivanka Trump’s classmates, her professional demeanor dates back to her time as a Penn undergraduate, where she kept a low profile but worked hard in class and appeared ambitious. Over 600 Wharton graduates from the Class of 2004 were contacted for this article.

Members of that class who remembered Trump generally described her as polished, hardworking and nice. She transferred to Penn from Georgetown University before her junior year, and she wasn’t particularly involved in Penn’s social scene. On campus, she lived in the Left Bank apartments, located near 31st and Walnut streets. “I think she was always a good student — well prepared, poised, et cetera,” Jared Work, a 2004 Wharton graduate said. “My sense was that she was a little removed from the typical bar scene in college, but I feel like she always handled herself with a lot of class and dignity.” Roland Oliver, a 2004 Wharton graduate, recalled his first encounter with Trump, a former model who had already graced the cover of Seventeen.

Amateur dancers and polished student performers moved to booming pop music on Sunday afternoon, but it wasn’t just a dance party — the participants were helping raise money for children’s health care. Following in the footsteps of college dance marathons across the nation, the first-ever Penn Dance Marathon raised money for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Their efforts, culminating in seven hours of dancing, singing, games and entertainment, raised a total of $3,814.96.

Marathon Executive Director and College and Engineering sophomore Marcello Chang came to Penn excited to experience a collegiate marathon. He said he was surprised when he found out that although Penn boasts more than 450 student-run clubs, there were none dedicated to organizing a dance marathon. Inspired by CHOP’s work and the potential to make an impact, Chang seized the opportunity to start a club to bring the fundraising event to Penn, strengthening the relationship between Penn’s student body and CHOP. Some of the largest benefactors of dance marathons are the 170 member hospitals within the Children’s Miracle Network, including nearby CHOP. According to the organization’s website, millions

because I was scared of what would happen,” she sa id. “Those 10 minutes before I found out were the longest 10 minutes of my life.” Once she received her acceptance, however, Mak was “super thrilled.” “I feel like now I can finally have a school to get excited about going to,” she said. “My sister currently goes [to Penn], and she’s loving it.” Cypress Bay High School senior Jacob Wilentz was similarly elated. “Penn has always been one of my top choices,” he said. “I checked [the result] away from

my parents, and then I kind of screamed, and then they came in. I was shocked,” he said. After touring Penn about a year ago, Wilentz immediately took to the campus’ atmosphere. “Everyone there was just really nice and happy,” he said. “There’s just so much I loved about it.” While students are looking forward to starting their freshman year in the fall, Penn Admissions Office is looking forward to seeing in person the personality of the incoming class. Penn Admissions spokesperson Kathryn Bezella enjoyed reading through applications and learning about students’ passions.

“Students are so candid about the thing that they really love doing,” Bezella said, noting that many incoming Quakers pursued passions largely independently during their high school years. ”[Penn has] people who can teach them more about [their interests] and we have resources to support them.” Dean of Admissions Eric Furda added that he is very proud of the work the Admissions staff has put into forming the Class of 2021. “Yes, it’s our job,” Furda said. “But in so many ways, it’s so much more than that to really spend the time to care and nurture and build what is going to be the next class at Penn.”

Phila. Health Fair features dancing and checkups Event organized in part by the School of Nursing GIOVANNA PAZ Contributing Reporter

This weekend’s West Philadelphia Health Fair offered salsa dancing, games — and legal checkups. This past Saturday morning, the School of Nursing hosted its fifth annual West Philadelphia Health Fair in conjunction with the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly. In the span of a few hours, the fair offered health care education and clinical checkups as well as an inviting atmosphere for hundreds of attendees in the area. Rashika Kaushik, Penn Nursing graduate student and chief coordinator of the West Philadelphia Health Fair, has been leading the fair for the past two years. “I think that because we’re Penn and part of such a big health care institution we often forget that they don’t have top 10 doctors, top 10 hospitals in the nation at their doorstep” Kaushik said. “I think it’s important for us as such an enriched student population to be able to do outreach.”

GIOVANNA PAZ | ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

Attendees received physical handbooks as they checked in, and volunteers filled in their health information as they went through the fair. Games included educational versions of Twister and Jeopardy.

The fair has been held in the gymnasium of Mastery Charter School for five years. With 50 coordinators, representation from all 12 graduate schools and a record-breaking 90 volunteers by her side, Kaushik was able to extend the fair’s

services to include exercise and legal checkup stations for the first time. The exercise segment provided attendees a space to dance with salsa instr uctors and snack on nutritious foods. Attendees then moved

onto another station that incorporated vital health care information into games such as Twister and Jeopardy. After all the fun and games, Nursing students took vital signs of the participants so they could receive visual, physical

and oral hygiene exams from other graduate students. Cynth ia Cla rk, Master y Charter School social worker and community engagement manager, worked with GAPSA to start the fair years ago. She explained that she found the students and their parents were not going to see doctors or clinicians as needed because they did not have health insurance. She wanted to break down these health care barriers. Clark said she wants students to prioritize their health starting at a young age so that they feel comfortable seeking advice and treatment despite any personal or financial obstacles. This year’s fair also offered legal aid from two attorneys and 10 Penn Law students, Kaushik said. Attendees could bring up any legal questions, and there were different tables for issues ranging from landlord-tenant disputes to questions about public benefits. Third-year Penn Law student John Parron was on a general diagnosis team, helping individuals find long-term solutions to their legal issues by connecting them to community legal services as well as government resources.

“I thought this was another great opportunity to use the skills that I learned in the [Penn Law] Civil Practice Clinic to help people in the West Philly community,” he said, adding that the The Center for Public Service at Penn Law connected him to the fair. Attendees a lso received physical handbooks as they checked in, and volunteers filled in their health information as they went through the fair. Kaushik said these handbooks can be useful for future visits to clinics and as proof of a physical for job applications and youth sports registration. In line with the event’s mission of increasing awareness of health care resources, all of the attendees were given a list of health care organizations in the area that take blood pressure as well as all Planned Parenthoods in Philadelphia. With the largest turn-out of Penn student volunteers since the fair began, Clark highlighted the positive impact Penn has had on families in the area. “Penn students are amazing,” Clark said. “They are so friendly and families really feel comfortable sharing their concerns with them.”

Bookworms gather for Marathon Reading at Kelly Writers House This year’s book selection was from Adam Douglas JAMES MCFADDEN Contributing Reporter

Book lovers gathered in Kelly Writers House on Thursday to read aloud for seven hours straight. The Writers House hosted its annual Marathon Reading program, where students and faculty took turns reading out loud from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy” series. For seven hours, different readers stood at the podium in the Writers House, reading Adam

Douglas’ “Hitchhiker’s” series aloud while attendees read along silently, enjoyed refreshments and discussed the series with each other. “Every year we decorate the house with elements of the book and create a space where people can immerse themselves in the text,” Writers House Director Jessica Lowenthal said. The program is attended by not only students and faculty, but also members of the surrounding community who enjoy reading literature. Program Coordinator Erin Gautsche established the Marathon Reading program in 2007,

and it quickly grew into an annual tradition. Every year, the Writers House Planning Committee chooses a book to be read aloud from start to finish and decorates the building with props from the book. This year a giant whale was on display at the front of the Writers House, referencing an iconic scene in the famously outlandish series when a whale falls from the sky. Program coordinator Allie Katz has helped organize the last five Marathon Readings. “I enjoy organizing community focused events, especially those that bring together such a

diverse group of people,” Katz said. Normally the program lasts as long as it takes to read a single chosen book, but this year the length of the event was set at seven hours. When the event concluded, readers left off at the middle of the second book of the five-part series. Harry Saffren has attended every Marathon Reading since 2008, and usually stays for the entire event. “A few of my friends and I have always enjoyed reading books aloud,” he said. “It’s a unique way to experience literature.”

Wharton study: Men are more aggressive post-Election Day Men are now less chivalrous in negotiations ESHA INDANI Staff Reporter

of dollars are raised annually through the dance marathons hosted at over 300 schools nationwide. James Sadowski, an 18-yearold cancer survivor, spoke at the event about his personal experience at CHOP. He explained how CHOP correctly diagnosed and successfully treated his lymphoma. “I’m the voice for the ones who don’t have one in this situation,” he said. In contrast to most charities where corporate offices determine the allocation of funds, donations to the Children’s Miracle Network “stay local to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care,” the website states, which Chang emphasized helps children like Sadowski battle illness. Penn’s Da nce Ma rathon was able to bring in six different performing arts groups as

Corinne Low and Wharton doctoral student Jennie Huang conducted a series of lab experiments looking into communication styles between men and women before and after Election Day.

well as instructors from Pottruck Health and Fitness Center to perform and teach dances throughout the day. Chang said the mission for Penn’s Dance Marathon “goes beyond fundraising,” adding that it also encompasses “developing a connection between our university and the children’s hospital … and about awareness, helping out whenever we can.” The club’s goal is to get the greatest number of people involved, bringing the community together to support the cause. As Chang puts it, “dancers over dollars.” As this is the first year of the event, Chang said organizers are “still figuring things out” and in the future he hopes to “work with local business [and] work with other students groups.” Chang said that unlike Penn State’s 46-hour dance marathon, Penn’s seven-hour event was simply “a taste of what dance marathons are like.”

results in neither party receiving a share of the money. The details and results of the experiments were summarized in a paper, in which Huang and Low stated that prior to the election, men were more likely to act in a chivalrous manner towards their female partners, shying away from tougher negotiation strategies. However, after the election the general trend of uncooperativeness between participants

was particularly driven by the change in the way the men communicated with the women. “We first establish that, postelection, there is an increase in aggressive behavior and a decrease in cooperative behavior across all treatments,” Low and Huang wrote in the paper. “We then show that the effect is even stronger for men playing against women when the partner’s gender is known.”

However, in an interview with The Washington Post, Low was cautious in making direct claims linking the rhetoric of President Trump’s campaign to the outcome of the election. “I’m an economist, so I’m going to stick in my lane,” Low said. “We call the paper Trumping Norms.

What potential Quakers need to know EDITORIAL BY THE DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN OPINION BOARD

Last week, more than two thousand applicants around the world received the news that they had been accepted for enrollment at the University of Pennsylvania. If you are one of the few thousand applicants that were accepted, we at The Daily Pennsylvanian congratulate you. The moment we opened our emails and heard “The Red and the Blue” was one of the most exciting of our lives, so enjoy it to the fullest. Now, you have a month to make a choice. We hope that you will seriously consider joining us in Philadelphia, and by May 1 we will be proud to call many of you our fellow Quakers. However, while each of the schools you visit will tell you that you are a perfect fit for their perfect communities, we offer this word of advice: Take a deep breath. Think critically. Wise decision-making generally involves a sober consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of each possible option. Colleges, however, are often less effective at conveying this information than at generating hype and buzz among prospective undergraduates. When you receive a tour or a glossy brochure from a school seeking your signature on an enroll-

ment contract, consider this: You are being sold a project. The school’s interests may not match your own. Indeed, there is, in all likelihood, information you need which you are deliberately not being given. Penn is by no means the only school which exhibits this phenomenon, but it is certainly no exception. Your ability to make a wise decision, and consequently, your happiness with your ultimate choice will depend on your ability to obtain and evaluate this information. In an effort to help you with this task, we asked our staff to tell us what they would have told themselves when they were choosing Penn. Among the responses we received, one from one of our freshman editors rang particularly true: “Not everything that you hear initially about Penn is true. Take time to reach out to students and faculty to form your own opinion, not one that is based on the pressures of your parents, friends, or community.” Accepted students will have been told that Penn is a “large urban research university” which will provide them myriad opportunities to get involved with advanced projects in innumerable fields and

subjects. They will not have been told that the school’s focus on research means that undergraduate education is, in many instances, a lesser priority in the eyes of faculty and administrators. At the end of the day, providing what incoming students are likely to be thinking of as their “college experience”

it: A lot of Penn students don’t know how to chill.” This is often a great part of Penn culture, as we are a community that constantly pushes itself to be better. If you are an inherently competitive person, Penn’s environment is more likely to be a great one for you. One of our juniors writes that

… while each of the schools you visit will tell you that you are a perfect fit for their perfect communities, we offer this word of advice: Take a deep breath. Think critically.” is only one comparatively small part of what Penn does, and that will be reflected in their day-today lives should they choose to attend. As another one of our freshmen wrote, “No one warns you that applying to clubs is really hard.” This is true from a general sense: Competition is a major part of almost everything at Penn. Put differently by a writer for 34th Street (the DP’s arts and culture magazine), “Face

“The baseline social scene at Penn is fun and reasonably accessible, but the more time you spend here, the more money you realize you need to spend.” The University itself does a reasonably good job of offering freshmen free or affordable opportunities to explore Philadelphia or have otherwise diverse and enjoyable experiences. However, participating in many social scenes at Penn requires spending more money than you

would expect, and this should be taken into consideration. Along the same vein, life here demands a significant degree of self-sufficiency. This is not to say that Penn does not provide resources for its students; as a sophomore writes, “Academically, take advantage of the resources Penn affords you. Check out books, go to office hours, schedule lunches with your professors.” There exist many avenues for support inside and outside the classroom, from faculty to friends, but connecting with them usually requires individual initiative and effort. Here, as a rule, you find little that you do not seek. This is in large part a product of scale. You should understand that a large school like Penn simply cannot guarantee the communal intimacy that some see as essential to their expectations of a college experience. You will not necessarily see somebody you know every time you walk through campus, as you may at a small liberal arts school. But Penn also lacks the intense school spirit that defines life at many larger universities. Despite our teams’ championships and tournament appearances, sports fandom does not

COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor JONATHAN POLLACK Sports Editor

exert any significant influence on undergraduate culture. While school spirit certainly exists here, it is splintered by club, fraternity, a cappella group and team — people love their group or circle, but don’t necessarily bleed red and blue. In many ways, life at Penn can more closely resemble independent life in a major metropolis than the cozy, communal experience familiar to the silver screen. This fact carries no negative inherent value — your life isn’t a movie — but it is different than what you may be expecting or looking for. Indeed, many students find that they thrive in such an atmosphere; others, however, find it dismaying. Ultimately, regardless of which school you choose, it will be up to you to get as much out of your college experience as possible. Think holistically about this choice, but ultimately, heed the advice of one of our freshman staffers: “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to make the right decisions. Eventually, it will all work out.” We hope that the right decision for you will be Penn. As a freshman put it, “You should probably come to Penn. It rocks.”

All other columns, letters and artwork represent the opinion of their authors and are not necessarily representative of the DP’s position.

This past weekend, around 40 Penn students joined nearly 4000 campus activists from across the country at the AmericanIsrael Public Affairs Committee annual Policy Conference in Washington D.C. Nearly 20,000 people attended the conference, including more than twothirds of Congress and 283 student government presidents from all 50 states. Democrats who spoke included Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (DCalif.). Republicans who spoke included Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Vice President Mike Pence. These are only a few of the leaders from both parties who came to express bipartisan support for Israel. Just as congressional leaders support Israel across party lines, Penn students of all political affiliations should be able to do the same. Israel’s values are American values. In Israel, minorities such as Arabs have

full rights, hold seats in Israel’s parliament and even serve on the Israeli Supreme Court. Women have equal rights and Israel’s first woman prime minister was elected in 1969. Democratic elections are free and fair, and transfers of power are peaceful. LGBTQ rights in Israel are the most advanced in the Middle East, and among the most advanced in Asia. It is hard to say any of these things about Israel’s neighbors. For the United States to support a democratic and liberal country in a region such as the Middle East is not controversial. And in an age of frustrating political polarization, it is encouraging that support of the U.S.-Israel relationship is the one issue that unites people of all ideologies. It already unites many of us on campus, too. Take the Penn-Israel Public Affairs Committee Leadership Statement, for example. On what other subject will you see the presidents of both Penn Democrats and College Republicans in support? On what other issue will you find student government leaders of all political stripes coming to-

gether? And on what other topic will you find signatures from both Pennsylvania U.S. Senators, as well as multiple PA state senators? Support for Israel transcends politics. And with Penn’s Israel Cultural Committee putting on Israel Week from March 30 through April 7, there has never been a better time to learn more about

truth in order to achieve their agenda of eroding support for the crucial alliance between our two countries. Penn’s own administration has condemned such campaigns, saying that the University “does not support sanctions or boycotts against Israel.” When confronted by extreme antiIsrael activists, I urge you to do your research. Reach

… in an age of frustrating political polarization, it is encouraging that support of the U.S.-Israel relationship is the one issue that unites people of all ideologies.” the U.S.-Israel relationship, and why it is important for everyone, including college students at Penn, to learn about Israel. Public demonstrations which attempt to delegitimize the state of Israel bring no one closer to achieving peace. Campaigns to divest from, boycott or sanction Israel rely on obscuring the

out to a pro-Israel friend to learn more about it. It is a complicated country in a complicated region, but Israel’s supporters do not shy away from the tough questions; in fact, we embrace them. You can be pro-Israel, but not support Benjamin Netanyahu. You can be pro-Israel, but not support

settlements. You can be proIsrael but not support Donald Trump. You can also be pro-Israel and support these things. Support for Israel transcends politics. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has said: “I unequivocally support the right of a Jewish, democratic state of Israel to exist, and to be safe and secure. The U.S.-Israel relationship is rooted in shared values and common interests … To me, it is a moral imperative to support and defend Israel.” Supporting Israel does not mean you support everything Israel does. Just like believing in America does not mean you support every action it takes. We ought to express our disagreements with the status quo and advocate for change. If you are pro-Palestinian, believe in justice for the Palestinian people and yearn for a fair and equitable solution to a complicated conflict, you are welcome as a supporter of Israel. If you believe women’s rights are human rights, that minorities should be equal members of society and that both the Jewish and Pales-

TAYLOR BECKER tinian peoples have a right to self-determination, you are welcome as a supporter of Israel. And if you believe that the United States should support the only democratic nation in the Middle East, you are welcome as a supporter of Israel. If you want to learn more about this issue, come to an Israel Week event. If you are a student leader and are asked to sign a statement of support for Israel, do so with pride! Israel is a positive good in the world, and the Penn community should affirm this. TAYLOR BECKER is a College senior from Lebanon, Ore., studying political science.

“The first time I saw her, she came into class late,” he said. “She walked very confidently ... there was an air of, ‘I am someone.’” Trump’s penchant for real estate was already clear by the time she got to Penn, her classmates said. Rishi Bhutada, another classmate from the Class of 2004, said in an email that she often heard Trump was “exceptionally good in real estate classes.” Miriam Diwan Mitra, who used to do homework with Trump, said in a Facebook message that Trump “deserved her 4.0.” As a child, the first daughter was involved in her father’s business, often visiting work sites with him. She took on an official role in the Trump Organization shortly after her graduation, eventually rising to the role of Executive Vice President of Development and Acquisitions. She was involved in many of her father’s business dealings, including a hotel in Azerbaijan, now under fire for

links to corrupt oligarchs. During her time at Penn, Trump’s Wharton courses, which often required group work, frequently brought her into contact with other students. Raj Dedhia, a 2004 College and Wharton graduate, remembers facing down Trump in a negotiations exercise — and beating her. “I distinctly recall beating her

I don’t think she had a whole lot of activities at school. She came to the school, and did her part, and left. - Roland Oliver in the negotiations, which is kind of funny to me,” he said. “She was very gracious the whole time.” Even though Trump is now over a decade removed from college, Dedhia said she hasn’t changed.

Though he jokes about having beaten the first daughter in a negotiations, he said his interactions with her were always pleasant. “When I see her on TV, she’s very similar to how I would expect her to be based on my past encounters with her,” he said. While the classmates interviewed for this article had mainly positive memories of Trump, some expressed skepticism of her now that she’s emerged as a major supporter of an embattled president with relatively low approval ratings. Particularly, her willingness to actively promote her father despite his controversial statements throughout the election cycle has rankled some Penn graduates. Eric Frankel, a 2004 Wharton graduate, said “most college-educated people were a little offended” by Trump’s complicity in some of her father’s controversial behavior. Frankel added that Trump “didn’t seem all that super intelligent” but that “she seemed nice enough.”

While Trump was at Penn, her father was establishing himself as a major reality-television star. In 2003, he became the executive producer and host of “The Apprentice,” while remaining a longtime owner of multiple beauty pageants, his name splashed across buildings and golf courses around the world. Though her classmates generally knew who she was, most don’t remember Trump being particularly active in Penn’s social life. However one 2004 Wharton graduate, Roman Galas, wrote in an email that he “saw her at Smokes’ once, sitting across from me at the bar, sipping her drink peacefully and gracefully.” “I don’t think she had a whole lot of activities at school,” Oliver said. “She came to the school, and did her part, and left.” Oliver, who took a legal studies course with Trump, said she was always “nice and professional,” and that there “wasn’t a lot of fanfare” about her being a Penn student. Several classmates also recalled that she smoked cigarettes while at Penn. Although Trump’s picture

doesn’t appear in the 2004 yearbook — seniors can choose whether or not they want to be photographed — a page recording the pop culture trends of the year pictures the elder Trump with his then-fiancee, Melania. After graduation, Trump worked at Forest City Enterprises, a real estate management and development company, before moving to the Trump Organization. She owns a line of fashion items as well as a lifestyle brand aimed at empowering professional women. While Trump’s presence at Penn was understated, her classmates said she appeared ambitious, and they aren’t surprised that she ended up where she is. “I think she was destined for success,” Dedhia said. “You got that sense from her that she knew what she needed to do, she had a very clear vision of what she wanted to be and she was at Wharton to get a good education.” Along with her husband, Jared Kushner, Trump is now a federal employee, and has participated in meetings with business leaders focused on women in the workforce.

Next month, she’ll attend a women’s empowerment summit in Berlin. “I think it’s impressive, but I would say I’m not shocked,” Work said. “She came across as always very professional ... clearly, she was always ambitious when she was in school, and I think that’s carried on.” In many ways, Trump’s cool, measured professionalism balances her father’s brash, aggressive approach to campaigning and governing. But it’s been widely reported that the two have a close relationship, and that the president relies heavily on his daughter for advice. Many have speculated about the eldest Trump children’s political futures — her brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric, do not have roles in the administration, but were deeply involved in the campaign. Oliver sees Trump’s influence far outlasting her father’s, and ascribes her unwavering support for him to something besides just familial loyalty — her own personal ambitions. “With everything that’s going on, there’s a bigger game at play,” he said.

Penn Fashion Week emphasizes the creative side of business

Event featured speakers from a fashion website NATALIA SANCHEZ-NIGOLIAN Contributing Reporter

This year’s Penn Fashion Week shifted away from its past focus on business, bringing in creatives from the industry and showcasing student talent. “The goal of this year’s theme was to follow the retail process all the way from ideating the product to actually moving it onto the shelf,” Penn Fashion Week Chief Operating Officer and College junior Daniel Jacobs said. Co-CEOs of Penn Fashion Week and Wharton seniors Cat Ding and Mindy Zou, along with Jacobs, collaborated with the Wharton Retail Club, Penn Fashion Collective and business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi to organize a week of events under the theme Fashion 360. The week’s grand finale was the student-run fashion show, “Neo-Renaissance.” The Saturday show was organized by the Penn Fashion Collective. Student models walked the runway in outfits designed by students at Penn and other universities. “We sought to bring together different elements from formal and informal, to old and new,”

Penn Fashion Collective President Emily Cheng said. “I think this show is very different from what we have done in the past.” Other events included a Monday keynote speaker event with Arielle Charnas, founder of SomethingNavy — a business she grew out of her personal Instagram account — and her sister, Danielle Nachmani, a stylist and business-owner. Charnas and Nachmani discussed the development of their careers in fashion, their brand strategies and achieving a work-life balance. Jacobs moderated the discussion, posing questions to Charnas about balancing branded content with original content on her website and Instagram page. “We post as many organic posts throughout the week [as we can], and then try to add in a sponsored post or two. I think it’s hard not to turn people off with ads, but I do try to make the content as organic as possible, and maintain the trust of my following,” Charnas said. “[Nachmani] brought an interesting perspective, and the interaction between her and her sister made for a very dynamic keynote,” Ding said. “The name recognition of our keynotes also really helped achieve our goal of reaching out to students who

don’t usually come to fashion events, and expose them to an industry that they don’t know a lot about.” Each day in the week had a designated focus on a specific segment of the retail industry. Tuesday’s event focused on design, with a visit from Design Director of fashion brand Carolina Herrera, Ludwig Heissmeyer. Zou said Heissmeyer’s visit was reflective of the Penn Fashion Week team’s effort to branch out into different sides of the retail industry. “We don’t get people on the creative side very often. We are so closely associated with Wharton that the people in our network usually tend to be on the business end,” Zou said. “I think it is great for students to think about retail as a creative field to enter.” This year’s Penn Fashion Week saw a surge in overall attendance throughout the week in comparison to previous years, Zou said. Approximately 100 students attended the keynote speaker event, with between 40 and 70 students attending the following days. Wednesday’s speakers spoke about production and merchandising, and Thursday’s panel focused on sales and buying.

No. 11 PENN 10 7 No. 16 NORTHWESTERN

Quakers come back to take down No. 16 Wildcats W. LAX | Penn finished

game on 5-0 run to win

WILL SNOW Senior Sports Editor

They made it to the final stretch — and they’re still standing. In the last game in a long series of tough matches against ranked non-conference teams, No. 11 Penn women’s lacrosse pulled off a comeback to remember at No. 16 Northwestern. The Quakers finished the contest on five unanswered goals to leave Evanston, Ill. with a 10-7 win. Things were starting to look dire for Penn (8-2, 1-1 Ivy) when Northwestern (6-6) appeared to be pulling away with the game

midway through the second half. The two teams went into halftime tied at four, but the Wildcats had scored three of the first four goals after the break, courtesy of a hattrick from Christina Esposito in the span of five minutes. The Quakers’ attack was sputtering, and coach Karin Corbett saw the need to halt Northwestern’s momentum and reset the game with a timeout. “I thought at some point that on the attacking side we were not on the same page, and we wasted a couple of our possessions,” Corbett said. “We called a timeout to try to get them organized...and we came out of that timeout a lot better. We were able to get some points on the board and take the lead.” After the timeout, Penn scored

five goals on the trot to secure its fifth win in the last six games. In the final 17 minutes, the Quakers not only put up five, but also kept their own net empty with some strong defense and a handful of saves from goalie Britt Brown. Brown finished the game with 13 saves from 20 shots and was instrumental in her team’s comeback. “She’s been great,” Corbett said of the senior goalie. “She has been the anchor of our defense. She’s been a great presence in the net, and she’s come up big for us all year long. It’s a real team unit out there, with Brittany at the anchor.” The team effort was wellbalanced on Sunday, as seven different Quakers got in on the goal-scoring. Junior Caroline

time places him a mere four seconds above the school record held by former teammate Thomas Awad. While the distance runners were striding to success in temperatures a bit more moderate, the Red and Blue sprinters and throwers took on the heat in Florida to break some records of their own. “Some of those [events] in Florida were really impressive performances for us. The women had a really great sprint meet with the 4x100m and the 4x400m relays, and those relays also had great individual performances,” coach Dolan said of his athletes’ successes from afar. Dolan traveled with the distance runners to the Stanford Invitational, but he was able to keep a close eye on his East Coast athletes and revel

in their victories remotely. Junior Taylor McCorkle bolted to an eye-catching 11.5 second finish in the 100m dash, improving on her own school record and later contributing to two more record-breaking performances in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. “Florida is a big meet for us, and it’s one of the ones that we really try to prepare for. We try to get some good times. It’s not like a lot of other meets, because there are Olympians and Olympic trial qualifiers there, so it’s definitely a great experience having that level of competition,” McCorkle said. The remainder of the Quakers were able to stay a bit closer to home at the Danny Curran Invitational held at Widener University. “We had some good things at Widener. We had some good javelin throws, a good pole vault, very good hurdles,

Senior goalie secured 13 saves in 10-7 victory WILL SNOW Senior Sports Editor

What a weekend it was for the star goalie of No. 11 Penn women’s lacrosse, Britt Brown. Facing yet another ranked opponent in No. 16 Northwestern, Brown had her work cut out for her against the Wildcats’ talented attack. The Quakers were put flat on their heels in the first period, when Northwestern hurled a barrage of 13 shots Brown’s way. But the senior kept nine

of those attempts out of the net, and kept her team in the game in the process, as Penn’s attack took a while to get going on Sunday. But in the second half, the Red and Blue found their edge, scoring six goals from 10 shots. This allowed Penn to pull away with a 10-7 victory, but only because of Brown’s heroics in preventing many more Wildcat goals that could have spoiled the party. The Bronx, N.Y. native didn’t allow a single goal in the game’s final 17 minutes. She finished the day with 13 saves and a win to improve her record in goal to 8-2 on the season — a remarkable feat

considering Penn’s consistently high-ranked opposition. “She’s been great,” coach Karin Corbett said of the senior goalie. “She has been the anchor of our defense. She’s been a great presence in the net, and she’s come up big for us all year long. It’s a real team unit out there, with Brittany at the anchor.” Brown will now get to enjoy the bulk of her final season with the thick of Ivy League play lying around the corner. And if her MVP-worthy performances continue at this rate, her name might be appearing in the headlines at least a couple more times before the season is up.

League opponents. Currently one game out of first place in the league, the race is now on to defend the team’s title. That defense will continue next weekend against Dartmouth.

and some very good middle distance running. We had a whole group of athletes run quite well,” Dolan said. Penn was able to sweep an impressive number of first place finishes in events across the board at Widener. The women dominated in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays, the 100m- and 400m-hurdles, the 100m dash, the 800m, the 1500, the pole vault, the hammer-throw, and the long jump. The Red and Blue men were able to snag gold in the long jump, the hammer, and the 1500m. Overall, it was a meet riddled with success for the Quakers, who made their fellow teammates proud with their performances from across the nation. With such a successful weekend behind them, the Quakers will reunite in University City and look to continue their momentum next week in the Virginia Quad meet.

Baseball opens up Ivy League play with pair of wins

Quakers have another doubleheader tonight JACOB SNYDER Associate Sports Editor

If every journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step, then every championship season must begin with a single victory. Or in Penn baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, two. After rain postponed Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would-be Ivy opener against Dartmouth, attention turned to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home doubleheader with visiting Harvard. The Crimson (10-12, 0-4 Ivy), although not a perennial Ancient Eight power, were not going to be pushovers. Just one weekend prior to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slate against the Red and Blue, Harvard had won three of four against Army, outscoring them 46-26 in those games. With that potent offense posing a serious threat, the Quakers (11-9, 2-0 Ivy) knew they needed to stifle

them right from the beginning. For that, head coach John Yurkow had to look no further than the arm of pitcher Jake Cousins. Cousins suffocated Harvard with a strong outing, allowing only three hits and six base runners on the afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even think Jake had his best stuff today with his fastball control,â&#x20AC;? Yurkow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that even when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not at his very best he can still be effective.â&#x20AC;? Possibly even more importantly, Cousins threw six of the seven innings, allowing Yurkow to rest his relievers for upcoming games on Monday and Tuesday. Five games in three days might overwork some pitching staffs, but Yurkow is confident that the performance of his hurlers today, and specifically Cousins, will lighten that load. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be too overworked at all,â&#x20AC;? Yurkow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially with how deep our starters went today, we should be set going into tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

In a game where not many runs were required, a big first inning hit from Chris Adams put the Red and Blue up 2-0 to give them a lead they would never relinquish. Another two runs in the sixth inning padded the victory, which ended with a 4-0 score line. For game two of the doubleheader, Yurkow sent starter Adam Bedlay to the mound. Bedlay gave up three quick runs in the first inning, digging the Quakers a 3-0 hole before their first at-bat. However, the Panama City Beach, Fla. native recovered nicely, giving up only one run in the following five innings and working his way out of a tough jam in the sixth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our rotation is very deep and it showed today,â&#x20AC;? Yurkow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adam displayed a lot of poise coming back from that first inning to throw a really nice game.â&#x20AC;? In the meantime, it was Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense that took over. A huge threerun homer from Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill gave

the Quakers a 4-3 lead in the second inning. Harvard eventually would push a run across to knot the score at four, and with the game heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, the score remained tied at 4-4. A few Penn batters later, Peter Matt stood poised to score at third with one out. Step up, Matt Tola. Although not one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prolific hitters, the sophomore came though when it mattered most, poking a single up the middle of a drawn-in Crimson infield and scoring what would prove to be the winning run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to the plate and knew I just had to make contact,â&#x20AC;? Tola said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially going down two strikes, I just focused on getting my bat to the ball, and I knew it had a good chance to get through their infield.â&#x20AC;? Two more runs would follow, opening up a 7-4 lead that the Quakers would not surrender. Nearperfect relief innings from Grant

spot with a strong group of six Penn athletes, including menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis superstar Kyle Mautner, menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimmingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thomas Dillinger, and 2016 first team Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association All-Region selection Natalie Reynolds. Full list: Faran Savitz (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fencing), Andrew Bologna (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming and diving), Thomas Dillinger (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming), Kyle Mautner (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis), Alexa Murray (field hockey), Natalie Reynolds (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing) 6. West Windsor Plainsboro South (Princeton Junction, NJ) Despite its proximity to a certain major rival of Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the

public high school managed to give the Red and Blue six current athletes, including a pair of gridiron stars in footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Schoenauer (fifth in the Ivy League in rushing yards in 2015) and sprint footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pat Boyle (led the CSFL in sacks in 2016) and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fencer Dana Kong, who recently qualified for the NCAA Championships for the first time in her career. Full list: Brian Schoenauer (football), Christina Rancan (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross country and track and field), Kathryn Schoenauer (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track and field), Kathryn Khaw (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fencing), Dana Kong (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fencing),

Pat Boyle (sprint football) 5. Malvern (Malvern, PA) The Philadelphia Main Line begins to dominate here, as Malvern comes in at fifth with a solid list of nine Penn athletes. The 6-12 prep school produced a group of five current Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse players, led by junior Kevin McGeary, whose 19 points this season rank second on the team. This lacrosse prowess should be no surprise given their Malvernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the team won the Pennsylvania state championship with a perfect 24-0 mark in McGearyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior year. Another major Malvern alum is junior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimmer CJ Schaffer, who holds the school record in the 100yard backstroke and qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 200 breast last summer. Full list: Billy Murphy (sprint football); Adam Goldner, Chris Hilburn, Kevin McGeary, Mike Mulqueen and Ryan Murray (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse); Brett Allan (lightweight rowing); CJ Schaffer and Will Schaffer (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming) 4. Episcopal (Newtown Square, PA) Episcopal is noteworthy for its extreme balance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; its seven current Penn student-athletes are scattered across seven different varsity teams. Senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse defender Kevin Gayhardt has been one of Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most reliable figures this season with 18 ground balls. Beyond him, the K-12 private school also boasts field hockey senior Claire Kneizys, a team captain who was named Academic All-Ivy in 2016, and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squash senior Grace Van Arkel, who secured a stellar 36-10 record over her Penn career and was crucial in boosting the Quakers to two straight national championship appearances. Full list: James Konopka (lightweight rowing), Katie Harlow (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing), Adam Strouss (football), Kevin Gayhardt (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse), Aaron Kim (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squash), Grace Van Arkel (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squash), Claire Kneizys (field hockey) 3. Manhasset (Manhasset, NY) The highest placing school outside the Philly area, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one field the Manhasset alumni fare especially well in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but their dominance there is enough crack the top three. Of the seven Penn athletes to hail from the 7-12 public school, six are lacrosse players, with two on Penn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and four on the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. For the men, Manhasset is led by sophomore attackman Tyler Dunn, whose 13 goals this season are second on the team. As for the women, depth is the name of the game, with a trio of regular Penn players in senior Sarah Barcia, junior Natalie Stefan and freshman sensation Erin Barry, recently named to the Inside Lacrosse National Rookie of the Year Watch List. For good measure, the lone Manhasset alum to play a different sport, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing junior Sarah Henry, earned CRCA National Scholar-Athlete honors last season. Full list: Tyler Dunn and James Farrell (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse); Sarah Barcia, Erin Barry, Katherine Markham and Natalie Stefan (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse); Sarah Henry (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing) 2.

One crucial player in Penn baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second win over Harvard on Sunday was Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill, who hit a three-run homer in the second inning.

Guillory and Billy Lescher closed the door on any potential Harvard comeback and sealed a 2-0 start to conference play. Next up for the Quakers is tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescheduled doubleheader with Dartmouth.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter who youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing, every conference game is important,â&#x20AC;? Yurkow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even thinking past tomorrow. I told the guys they only have a short time to celebrate this one and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to Dartmouth.â&#x20AC;?

Penn gymnastics captain Kyra Levi is one of three stand-out athletes to hail from State College Area, the 10th most important pipeline on our list.

Another local school saw some major athletes stay close to home, as Germantown has a strong group of 10 current Penn athletes. The K-12 private school got a massive boost from a pair of 2016 graduates who wasted no time breaking out at the collegiate level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; freshman sprint football center Matt Hermann earned second team All-CSFL honors, and freshman basketball guard Devon Goodman was one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most electric offensive threats once conference play rolled around. Additionally, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing senior Alex Takei has been a mainstay in the boat for the Quakers, earning CRCA National Scholar-Athlete honors last year, and sophomore swimmer Madison Visco earned second team All-Ivy honors in two events as a freshman, contributing to a school record in the 800 freestyle relay. Full list: Matt Hermann (sprint football); Devon Goodman (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball); Kendall Grasela (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball); Alex Takei (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rowing); Meagan Dollard, Madison Visco and Carolyn Yang (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming); Lyle Wistar (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross country and track and field); Ethan Genyk (lightweight rowing); Jeremy Wright (heavyweight rowing) 1. Haverford (Havertown, PA) With a staggering 12 varsity athletes to have come from the local high school, Haverford takes the cake as the top factory for future Penn stars. While the all-boys K-12 prep schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth is certainly impressive, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the

lacrosse field where the Fords separated themselves from the pack, accounting for five players currently on Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team including reigning USILA AllAmerican Connor Keating and junior Reilly Hupfeldt, whose 11 goals this season rank fourth on the team. Unsurprisingly, Haverfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a major powerhouse in recent years on the lacrosse field, with the 2015 squad being referred to by USA Today as arguably the top team in high school history. But lax crew is far from all the school has to offer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seven other active Penn athletes hail from the institution, including sophomore football starting kicker Jack Soslow and senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squash sensation BG Lemmon, whose fifteen wins in 2015-16 set a single season school record. The bottom line is that the Haverford alumni get it done across all fields like no other school does, and for that, they seize the top spot. Full list of athletes: Aron Morgan and Jack Soslow (football); Reilly Hupfeldt, Connor Keating, Noah Lejman, Keyveat Postell and Alex deMarco (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse); Brendan Burns and Gerard Hoeltzel (lightweight rowing), BG Lemmon (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squash); Jimmy Jameson and Matt Haigh (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming) Honorable mentions: Blair Academy (NJ), Northfield Mount Hermon (MA), Christian Brothers Academy (NJ), La Salle (PA), Delbarton (NJ), St. Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NY) A full version of this story can be found online at thedp.com/ sports.

Dunn on a lefty step-down shot to the top corner of the goal. With 1:07 left to play, Penn was suddenly only down by two. Sadly for the Quakers, that is as close as they would get. Despite possessing the ball throughout the final minute of play, the Red and Blue were unable to find the back of the net, ending an incredible run rather abruptly. As coach Mike Murphy so succinctly put it, “It was too little, too late.” In most games, scoring six of the game’s final seven goals should culminate in a win, but a series of difficulties in specific areas haunted the Quakers throughout and handicapped them so severely that a win was almost an impossibility. Just as a lacrosse game literally starts at the faceoff “X,” it metaphorically starts there as well. In order to win the game, it is paramount that a team win the possession battle, and faceoffs are the primary way in which a team can earn possession. Winning only 13 of 30 faceoffs immediately put the Quakers at a distinct disadvantage, forcing them to scrap for every possession. Additionally, there was a direct correlation between faceoff wins and goals for Yale. Breaking the game down into quarters, Yale

outscored Penn in the first and third periods only. By no coincidence, those were the two quarters in which Yale dominated faceoffs, winning 10 out of 14 draws. The second and fourth quarters belonged to the Red and Blue, as they outscored Yale in each. Unsurprisingly, these were the two quarters in which Penn won the majority of the faceoffs, grabbing nine of 16. Beyond faceoffs, an even larger problem looms for Penn. Goalie play, a strength as recently as the beginning of this season, has become an extreme weakness. Former Ivy League Rookie of the Year Reed Junkin began the day in net but allowed six first-half goals to only two saves. Sensing that his goalie wasn’t seeing the ball well, coach Murphy made the switch, allowing freshman Alex DeMarco to play the second half. However, the younger keeper wasn’t any more effective, conceding eight goals while also only stopping two shots. The combined .222 save percentage of the two goalies was absolutely crippling, preventing any chance of a win. If Junkin is unable to return to form, it’s fair to question whether this team has any chance of reaching the heights to which it aspires. His recent failings have become too important to ignore and too obvious to hide. The Quakers need him playing at his peak for them to have any

SPORTS 13

MONDAY, APRIL 3, 2017 chance to win the Ivy League. “Certainly we know Reed has the ability to be a very, very good college goalie,” coach Murphy said. “He was the Second Team All-Ivy goalie last year, and he was at almost 70 [save percentage] through the first two games. We just have to go back and look at the film to address the fundamentals to get him back to where he was at the beginning of the year and last year.” Despite the loss, this game offered enough positives to suggest that, if Junkin can regain his form and if the faceoff-play can improve only slightly, Penn has a legitimate chance to win the league. The Penn offense, stagnant as of late, came alive today in way it hasn’t since the Penn State game, scoring goals quickly and efficiently. Leading that charge was junior attackman/midfielder Kevin McGeary who was consistently able to get his hands free on his way to a hat trick. Also contributing three goals was Hupfeldt, while sophomore attackman Simon Mathias operated in a feeding roll, dishing out an assist for each of Hupfeldt’s goals. The Quakers will need this explosive and diverse offensive display to become the norm in order to reach and win the Ivy League Tournament, but it may not even matter unless goalie and faceoff play are fixed, and fixed quickly.

COLE JACOBSON Sports Editor

West Windsor-Plainsboro South

ith Penn’s admissions department having released its regular decision results, the University is rapidly forming its Class of 2021. Undoubtedly, the group of incoming freshmen will make a major impact the athletic fields — but where will its superstars come from? In the spirit of admissions season, DP Sports set out to find out. With a bit of research, we’ve compiled a list of the top ten high schools to produce current varsity athletes at Penn. Ultimately, the list isn’t perfect: due to potential issues like judging team success vs. individual success, which sports are more difficult to succeed in than others, how much the quality or quantity of a certain school’s athletes matters, and so on, it was simply impossible to come up with a pure numerical formula that would’ve been fair to all parties. But with all that said, the demographics of Penn’s 852 current student-athletes are broken down below. Here’s the final countdown of whose alma maters are the best: 10. State College Area (State College, PA) Though State College only sent three varsity athletes to University City, the public high school’s quality over quantity allowed it to sneak into the top 10 — gymnast Kyra Levi was the 2017 ECAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and has qualified for three straight USAG Nationals, field hockey defender Paige Meily earned both Academic All-Ivy and second team All-Ivy honors in 2016, and baseball’s Chris Adams’ .299 batting average ranks third on the team. Full list: Paige Meily (field hockey), Kyra Levi (gymnastics), Chris Adams (baseball) 9. Brunswick (Greenwich, CT) While Brunswick produced eight current Penn varsity student-athletes, it’s clear that the Ringe Squash Courts are where the private K-12 school has made its greatest impact, with 2016 CSA second team All-American Hayes Murphy and David Yacobucci leading the way. Full list: Eric Ganshaw (men’s golf), Will Bass (heavyweight rowing), Thomas Kern (heavyweight rowing), Matt Marvin (heavyweight rowing), Andreas Kern (lightweight rowing), Hayes Murphy (men’s squash), David Yacobucci (men’s squash), Jon Errico (wrestling) 8. Harvard-Westlake (Los Angeles, CA) The only school outside of Pennsylvania or the tristate area to produce at least five current Penn athletes, the private 7-12 school gets some love, led by fencing

Sometimes it’s not all about how you finish. Penn men’s lacrosse is proof of that, losing to No. 19 Yale, 14-12, despite scoring six goals in the game’s final eight minutes. The Quakers (4-4, 1-2 Ivy) battled the Bulldogs (5-3, 3-0) all game long, trailing by only a goal with five minutes to play in the third quarter. Unfortunately for the Red and Blue, the reigning Ivy League Champions answered a JJ McBride goal with a six-goal run, ballooning the lead from 7-6 to 13-6 and effectively putting the game out of reach… or so one would think. Proving that lacrosse is indeed a game of runs, the Quakers stormed back, sparked by unlikely contributors.
