PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A freshman at the University of Pennsylvania has died in Philadelphia’s Center City, but authorities have not released more specific information on how or where she died.

The Philadelphia medical examiner’s officer provided no details beyond confirming the Friday death of 19-year-old Madison Holleran, of Allendale, N.J.

Holleran was a member of the university’s varsity track and field team. Penn had meets scheduled in Bethlehem on Saturday, and team members were being given the option of whether they wished to compete.

The school also canceled formal recruitment for sororities in the wake of the student’s death.
