FROM THE EDITOR
Dear Readers,
In 2023, the Wharton Sports Analytics Journal was revamped with the vision to become a platform where students can showcase their novel research and foster knowledge within the sports analytics community. One year and two excellent editions later, we’re delighted to continue building on this momentum.
As the new Editor-in-Chief, I’m excited to share the Fall 2024 edition of the Wharton Sports Analytics Journal with you in early December. We continue to present the work of talented, innovative students from high schools and universities nationwide. We spotlight many diverse analytical methods, student backgrounds, and sport subjects.
As we look forward, I’d like to invite any high school, undergraduate, or graduate student doing research in sports analytics to submit their work to the journal. We would love to consider your submission for our next edition.
As always, please let us know your thoughts and feedback as we strive to bring you the best of sports analytics.
I’m honored to head the journal as we continue to establish our name as a premier destination for student sports analytics research. We’re excited for what’s to come.
Sincerely,
Katherine Comer, W’26
