Most, if not all of the open events on Sunday will be potentially A-2 events.
Our community is one of the most fencing friendly small towns in the USA.
Our Mayor was a fencer (quit because of bad knees) Our HS has the best HS fencing program in the country. Columbia HS has 150 active fencers in its varsity program and our lady cougars are State Champs for the last 4 yrs and for 8 out of the last 9 yrs.
Nicole Mustilli, Holly Buechel, Ibtihaj Mohmmed, Abby Caparros-Janto, A'sha Brumant and the Kaneshiges, Christine and Brian are some of the fencers who come from Maplewood/so. orange.
