The Red extended its winning streak to eight matches with a clean sweep at the Brandeis Invitational.
Two rookies head to nationals later this week, where they join seven other Ivy League fencers.
The team remains focused on developing young talent for later seasons and has a bright outlook for the future.
After a lackluster performance on the first day of the Elite Invitational, Cornell bounced back with a strong showing on Sunday to round out the weekend.
Grit- (n.) courage and resolve; strength of character.
“We still have a lot to improve on … but I’m very proud of our fencers for being able to qualify for such a prestigious event.”
Wines, Kiarkidi and Zusin will head out to South Bend to compete in the national championship this weekend.
“It was a pleasure to see all of the team’s hard work in the gym and the salle come to fruition.”
“We’re all really motivated and it’s been a very positive team environment lately.”
“We obviously didn’t get as many wins as we wanted … but we came away knowing that we fought hard and fenced to the best of our abilities against some of the best fencers in the country.”
