As usual, a small but strong Penn contingent will be competing in the men's and women's track and field NCAA Regionals. The teams are going to Gainesville, Fla., this weekend. But instead of taking in the sun, they're taking on some of the best athletes in the country.

"Freshman, get to the back of the bus," Penn golf's senior captain Sean Barrett ordered as the team prepared to head out for its final round at the NCAA West Regional in Tempe, Ariz., last weekend. With the Quakers in 23rd place (of 27), this was very likely Barrett's last ride to a course as captain.

School's out, but the work isn't over. Penn rowers, the victims of the three-season sport, have extended their stay well into May, competing in several events as well as their league championships, the EARC and EAWRC Sprints. All three teams - heavyweight and lightweight men and women - have placed in the top ten at their respective championships, with a fourth place and two ninth place finishes. (1 )
