Fencing!

Get ready for Spring sports!! The Girl's Fencing Team are hoping to get new girls to join the team. The team was developed last year and might not be known in school, but there is a fencing team in the school. Around next month, people from the girls fencing team will go around and ask if girls are interested in joining the team. In the fencing team it's split between two groups, foil and epee. In foil you are only allowed to attack your opponent on the upper body and in epee you can attack your opponent anywhere. You don't need experience to join the team. I remember when I joined the team I had no experience on how to fence and after one season not only do I know how to fence and is a starter for the epee group along with Esther, Stephanie, Katie, and Grace.  On the foil group is our captain Alexa, Susan, Zoe, D'Andra, and Sharon.

Girl's Fencing

Last year the Girl’s Varsity Fencing Team was created and there were girls who had injuries but still continue to support the team by going to the games or playing in the match with their injury. Maria Contreras, currently a sophomore, was injured on the ribs after our first or second match, but she still had school spirit, going to each one of our games supporting us. Even though it’s sad that she might not be back with us this year, she said she might still go to our games to support us. The team might not have won one game, but they did win one epee match against Bronx Science High School. That was considered a great victory to the team since they haven’t won one single game. This year the team is hoping that we have more girls join the team, especially the freshman’s since they still have a long time in Baruch College Campus High School. The team might still be developmental this year, but it could change throughout the years, after all the team did start last year. Practice was three times a week and it lasted two to three hours. I hope that girls who are interested in fencing, the sport, join the team or at least give it a try to see if you like it, whether you have no experience or not.
