Starting last Saturday at 5 p.m., the fencing club embarked on an ambitious 24-hour fencing marathon in Morrell Gymnasium.
The fencing club aimed to use this event to attract new members and teach interested students how to fence.
In Room 213 of the Peter Buck Center for Health and Fitness, the same room that holds cycling and yoga classes, a small group of students put their fencing skills to the test three times per week.
In Rhode Island last weekend, three fencers competed in the fencing club’s first tournament of the year. Casey Edmonds-Estes ’22 finished in the top eight, beating two experienced fencers and earning a rank E.
In fencing, each competitor begins their career labelled U, meaning they are an unranked fencer.
