Senior at Columbia High School Sport: Fencing (Epeé)

What do you love about fencing? I love the intensity and technique in fencing. It feels so good when I finally succeed in learning a new offensive move and perfectly implement it in a bout. In a bout, my mind and body become entirely focused on my oppo nent. There is no room for worrying about the task at hand. Fencing is the perfect outlet.

Why did you start fencing? I had always been a competitive soccer player, but after receiving my second concussion I realized I had to move on to a sport with less contact. In winter of my freshman year at CHS, I struggled to decide between track and fencing. Finally, knowing the impressive legacy of the CHS fencing and with much encouragement from my concussion specialist, I decided to try out fencing. I found an inclusive, hard working community at CHS fencing and I never looked back. Why did you choose Epeé Fencing? Most people don’t know that there are three types of fencing; Epeé, Foil, and Sabre. Each type has a different set of rules. There are different target areas and different weapon shapes. Unlike in Saber and Foil, Epeé fencers can score a touch anywhere on their opponent and have less restrictions when attack ing. I love the freedom that I have as an epeé fencer. Also, my height is an advantage!

Hobbies: I love to cook and bake with my family and friends. I’m a big reader and I love to go on runs around MAPSO.
