  • FENCERS CLUB Est
    FENCERS CLUB est. 1883 September 2, 2008 Dear Members, Former Members, and Friends, Fencers Club’s 2008 fiscal year, which ended yesterday, was probably the most eventful year in our 125-year history. During the Summer of 2007 several of the Club’s coaches left the Club and many of their students followed them to two new clubs. The resulting diminution of membership dues created additional financial stress on the FC, as we also faced the necessity of moving in May 2008 to a much more expensive space. I am pleased to report that our annus horribilus has turned into a highly successful transitional year. First of all, three of our members came home from the Olympics with silver medals: Erinn Smart and Emily Cross for the women’s foil team event and Keeth Smart for the men’s saber team event. In addition, Nzingha Prescod won the Cadet Women’s Foil World Championship. Everyone at the Club is enormously proud of these outstanding fencers. There is more good news. We are happy to welcome Kornel Udvarhelyi and Buckie Leach back to the Club as coaches, starting this week. We have missed them and are glad to have them once again as members of the Fencers Club family. Lyn Rollins came on board as the Club’s new Manager one year ago and has done a terrific job of reorganizing and modernizing our procedures across the board, while continuing our tradition of friendly and welcoming interaction with members, parents, and coaches. During the past year Paul Oratofsky has done an outstanding job, putting in place a software system that allows members to join, and pay for lessons, rent lockers, etc.

  • Tech Fencers Win Medals
    Fencer and His Team Rise Above a Lot By GEORGE VECSEY for The New York Times | August 17, 2008 Beijing Keeth Smart is flying to New York on Monday to begin his new life at Columbia Business School. He is carrying an Olympic silver medal for fencing. Four years ago, he went home from Athens with a broken heart. Smart wilted in two crucial events in the 2004 Summer Games, essentially costing himself and his teammates a medal. He could barely get out of bed the next day, and he has carried around the memory of that collapse Omar Torres/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images for four years. But on Sunday, he staged two Keeth Smart, overcoming his fade in Athens and the death gallant comebacks, helping win a silver medal of his mother in May, helped the U.S. men’s sabre team in the team sabre competition for himself and win silver. the United States. He did it despite the death of his mother, Audrey Elizabeth Smart, on May 25, and despite being hospitalized for several months because of a serious blood disorder he picked up in Africa. With the collapse of 2004 very much in his memory bank, he capped the greatest Olympics for American fencing. In addition to winning the silver medal Sunday in men’s sabre, ending with a 45-37 loss to France, the United States won five other medals here. The women, among them Smart’s sister, Erinn, won a silver medal in foil, and they also won a bronze in sabre. And in the individual sabre competition, Mariel Zagunis, Sada Jacobson and Becca Ward swept the medals.
