While most of us were back at home or on vacation during spring break, many of Drexel's varsity athletes were competing on their respective playing fields. Individuals in Swimming and Wrestling earned honors and the Softball and Lacrosse programs enjoyed very successful Spring Breaks.
In swimming and diving, Katie Hynes placed 32nd in the nation on the 3-meter springboard and finished the season ranked 26th in the 1-meter event at the NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships at the University of Minnesota, Mar. 9, 2007.
Drexel's All-American Ryan Hluschak finished eighth at the 2007 NCAA Wrestling Championships at the 157 pound division, capping one of the most successful tournament runs in Drexel history.
Drexel's softball team went 8-3 from Mar. 7 - Apr. 1, with doubleheader sweeps over the University of Sciences, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, along with two wins over Delaware, and a win versus Rutgers and UNC-Wilmington, to improve to 9-6 on the season, and 3-3 in the CAA.
