Sports boards play a pivotal role in the student-athlete experience at Penn. Comprised of former student-athletes, current and former parents as well as friends of Penn Athletics, sports boards provide stewardship and guidance to each of Penn’s 33 varsity sports. The Penn Track & Field/Cross Country sports board meets four times a year as a group to discuss the current state of the program and throughout the year its members volunteer their resources by focusing on four key areas: student-athlete mentoring, development and alumni relations, events and young alumni engagement. Penn Athletics owes a debt of gratitude to those currently serving on the Penn Track & Field sports board, including:
