The leadership of the women's track team seniors and especially captains has helped the team, both in terms of victories and chemistry.

Men's basketball graduated seniors Ryan Wittman and Jeff Foote have been "doing work" this summer, working out for various NBA teams in preparation for this month's draft and NBA Summer League. Meanwhile, another Cornell all-time great has been inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. 

Several Cornell varsity sports teams (and one club team) have enjoyed a productive start to summer.

The track teams attempt to close out the season on a high note when they travel to Princeton for Heps this weekend.

The track teams earn positive results in preparation for the Heptagonal Championships.  

The men's and women's track teams got a good look at some of the nation's fiercest competition over the weekend at the Penn relays, with many Cornell athletes qualifying for ECAC and IC4A meets.

The men's track and field team will compete in the Cortland Invitational tomorrow while the women host Penn.

In track, athletes perform their training in cycles, sacrificing strong times for hard workouts, ultimately hoping to peak late in the season during the team’s most important meets. For the Red, the Heptagonal’s, ECAC and NCAA championships will be the definitive meets of the 2009-10 season. Judging by the Red’s performance at the two-day Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic, Cornell’s track programs are well on their way to outstanding performances in the post season. Despite racing on weary legs after several weeks of hard workouts, both the women’s and men’s teams looked strong at Bucknell, picking up many individual and relay first-place finishes.

Under sunny skies and slashing winds, the Cornell men’s and women’s track and field teams had great performances in the Easter Weekend Open at Robert J. Kane Sports Complex in Ithaca, N.Y. 

The men’s and women’s track teams will return from their Spring Break meets –– the UC Irvine Invitational and the Titan Twilight –– with sore muscles and tanned faces. But the Red returns from California endowed with more than just sunburns; both teams gained valuable experience in their first meets of the season, posted impressive results and put in a week of quality training in the California sunshine, hence the sore muscles.
