Wednesday, November 21 was our annual fall fencing tournament in Philadelphia, held at the Fencing Academy of Philadelphia, at Lancaster Avenue and 36th Street. We had an enthusiastic crowd of cheerleaders from TAA, including friends and relatives of our students. Captains Joel Fink and Barbara Matejova did a great job of warming up the team, and helping the fencers when help was needed. Our opponent was Christ Classical Christian Academy, and a great time was had by all. We anticiapte a great re match in the spring, and all are invited.

Students who are interested in seeing intercollegiate fencing may be interested in the University of Pennsylvania fencing schedule. January 13 is the Philadelphia Invitational; February 10th is the Ivy League Round Robin 2; and March 1 is the NCAA Regionals at Drew University in NJ. TAA graduate Kate Anthony is presently on the women’s varsity fencing team at the University of Pennsylvania. TAA students and families: please let Mrs. Anthony know if you would like to attend any of these meets.
