Wharton Sports Analytics Journal

FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Readers,

In 2023, the Wharton Sports Analytics Journal was revamped with the vision of becoming a platform where students can showcase their novel research and foster knowledge within the sports analytics community. A 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. We continue to present the work of talented students from high schools and universities across the country, showcasing an array of analytical methods and diverse student backgrounds. This edition, we spotlight many sports rising in popularity across the world, including fencing, competitive robotics, and cricket.

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.

We hope you feel informed and inspired by the papers selected to be a part of this 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
Editor-in-Chief
