Track Notes

- Judging from the recent performances of this week’s MIP, maybe the entire team would benefit from a two mile run. Senior Dom Lopez has suddenly hit his stride after rediscovering the loneliness of the long distance runner.

- Coming Up: Penn Relays participants are reminded of Wednesday’s 8:30am practice, and that they should report on Friday at 7:00am.
