The Tigers were in danger of failing to qualify for the ECAC tournament for the first time in 10 years. After losing to the Bulldogs, however, the Tigers (16-12-1 overall, 13-8-1 ECAC) quickly turned things around and are now firing on all cylinders.

Stereotypes are present everywhere, and the Orange Bubble is no exception. While I am aware of the harmful effects that certain stereotypes can have, I am also aware of stereotypes that, in the right context, can be harmless and deliver a small dose of humor.

All of the Ancient Eight teams will be competing at DeNunzio Pool, with preliminary races beginning in the morning and finals in the evening every day of the meet.

F or a guy who shares the exact same name as another Princeton student, sophomore runner Peter Callahan’s individual accomplishments manage to distinguish him from his senior counterpart. Callahan won the 800m at the Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet two weeks ago with the fourth-fastest time ever in the Ivy League of one minute, 48.66 seconds, earning him the HepsTrack Male Athlete of the Week last weekend.

Along with the men’s track team, Callahan will be competing at the Ivy League Heptagonals this weekend for the indoor title.
