    College Fencing Entering Freshmen (and women)

    Does anyone have reliable information about where the top high school fencers (all three weapons, men and women) are going next year?

    Anyone who didn't do Early Decision has until May 1. While many decisions will be made before then, it's usually after then that the information gets around.

    From our club, we got 3 kids (ME) going to college next semester. Two are getting into Div I teams (BC - A08, Princeton - A09) while the other one into a club (Middlebury - B09). I know that Princeton is getting 2 ME fencers that are on the top 15 of the Junior ME list (out of 4-5 who are not yet into college). I also know that the only available top 5 WE fencer (the others are already in college or beyond) is going to Stanford.

    Is there a reason people seem hesitant to post names?

    Dunno - I was following JEC's lead.

    Arzoian
    Amos
    Taylor
    from CA
    all extremely fine and exemplary, hard workin' individuals; all pretty much ended up in schools of their choice IMHO.

    I had guessed two out of the three (missed Amos because she's actually 33rd).

    For my part, I'll contribute what very little knowledge I have:
    Evan Prochniak (5th, Jr. MS) is going to UPenn, I believe.

    They have a club team. It doesn't have a website. I can't recall seeing them at any of the New England-ey meets, and I may have invited them to a scrimmage they weren't interested in (I've forgotten who I targeted, but Middlebury fits in with the other people I was trying to make a connection with....)

    Who will go to schools where they will likely have their names and faces listed on large websites...

    At which point this thread will be months old. Until then, while some of these names and choices may be public knowledge, and some may be close enough that sharing is appropriate, the fact that some people may not post all the information they have or may have a twinge of concern before they do is not totally out of line.

    Oh, and the kid going to Middlebury? Not going to be listed on the website.

    Very true but for the kids that have already committed/sent a deposit...

    Spencer Church has been trying to get a club off the ground for the last two years. I haven't heard how they are doing but we haven't seen them at either collegiate* club meets or at any local USFA tournaments yet. Good fencing in Middlebury is at the Vermont Fencing Alliance.

    *or collegial ones, either
