Rye Country Day Fencing Wildcats Sharpen Their Sword Play

 

By Melanie Cane

In their final regular season meet, February 9, Rye Country Day hosted the Avenues World School from New York City and posted decisive wins in every bout. The Boys’ Foil won 6-3; Girls’ Foil, 8-1; Boys’ Epee 8-1; and Girls’ Epee 7-2.

This season, three of the Wildcat teams posted winning records. Boys’ Foil and Boys’ Epee finished 9-6 and the Girls’ Epee excelled at 11-4.

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.
