Student-athletes commit to play at colleges across the nation

Penn has amazing student-athletes!  In the 2014-2015 school year, 39 student-athletes signed letters of intent to attend colleges and universities across the country.  Twelve of them are headed to Division 1 Schools.

The group represents fifteen different sports: swimming, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, softball, cross country, track, wrestling, golf, soccer, football, gymnastics, volleyball, cheerleading, and tennis.

Much credit goes to the outstanding staff of coaches, assistants, and trainers. Retiring Athletic Director Ben Karasiak, Assistant A.D. Bridget Williams, along with the department’s administrative assistant Sandy Heston, have provided great leadership. They understand compliance, safety, and scheduling but never fail to keep their focus on the welfare and development of the whole student.
