In the ISFL league competition, Girls’ Epee and Boys’ Sabre came in third place; Boys’ Foil and Boys’ Epee ended up in fourth; and Girls’ Foil and Sabre in fifth place.
Coach Rue credited the leadership provided by the captains — Celeste Kelly, Biamh Kiernan, PJ Pujadas, and Josh Shapiro — for their overall success. “But I would also add that everyone on the team demonstrated exceptional drive and enthusiasm all season long.”
The season ends February 24 with the ISFL Team Tournament at Hackley School.
