Welcome to the Summer Series!

Hey terriers, we hope you're all having a lovely summer and getting excited for the 2016 Olympic games! Starting in just over a month, they bring with them unfathomable patriotism and the opportunity to finally watch our favorite sport on a major network channel. Throughout the summer, we'll be posting updates about the US team and their successes as well as our own super-star fencers, so stay tuned!

This year's US team brings a variety of fencers old and new to the games, including Mariel Zagunis, Ibtihaj Muhammad and an all-star men's foil team. Check everyone out and let us know who you can't wait to watch compete! http://www.teamusa.org/News/2016/April/28/Meet-The-2016-US-Olympic-Fencing-Team
