National Collegiate Men's and Women's Fencing NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2015 Championship 2 History 4 All-Time Team Results 8 2015 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Columbia preserves lead in Day 4, wins first title under coach Aufrichtig: For the 14th time in program history and first under the guidance of head coach Michael Aufrichtig, Columbia claimed the NCAA National Championship. Coming into the final day at the French Field House, the Lions held an eight-point lead against Penn State and remained stable through the final day of com- petition before opening a nine-point gap that clinched the program’s third joint men’s/women’s NCAA fencing championship under a format that began in 1990. Aufrichtig, Seoung Woo Lee (foil/epee), Akhnaten Spencer-El (sabre) and Wesley McKinney, led the squad to its first title since 1993. After entering the day with 136 points and 42 bouts remaining for the team, the Lions wasted little to no touches, claiming 29 of those available points to take their team total to 165 points. Penn State and Notre Dame could climb no closer than nine points, totaling 156 victories each, but the Nittany Lions outweighed the Fighting Irish’s scoring indicator by 31 touches (176-145) for second and third, respectively. Princeton (145) and Ohio State (137) rounded out the top five. Over the course of the first two days, the men’s team rose high for a combined 81 victories. Four of the six Columbia men earned All-American honors and junior epeeists Jake Hoyle and Brian Ro made it to the medal round and fenced each other in the semifinals. Hoyle prevailed and went on to defeat Princeton’s Jack Hudson for the NCAA Men’s Epee Individual Title. Columbia’s fate fell on the tips of the women’s swords. The Lions were in a tight battle with Penn State and Notre Dame after the men’s competition. The Columbia women vaulted the team into first place at Saturday’s close and held off the Nittany Lions and Fighting Irish Sunday for the win. But Columbia would not stop with a team title. Five of the six Lions women earned All-American honors and Margaret Luqualified for the medal round. The five All-American honors by the women complemented by the four earned by the men’s squad over the first two days of the tournament are the most by the Lions since 2007. Lena Johnson was the bounce back story of the tournament for the Lions, rebounding from a 7-8 opening day to put together a record of 6-2 on Sunday. The first-year ended in 11th place with a record of 13-10 for honorable mention All-American accolades. Anastasia Ivanoff made a name for herself in her first NCAA Championships, as Johnson’s class- and weaponmate put together a 15-8 record. The ledger was on the cusps of finishing in the saber’s final four, however, it matched Francesa Russo’s of Notre Dame. The tiebreaker came down to the scoring differential and the Irish’s Russo held a one-point touch over Ivanoff’s plus-26 scoring index to take the final spot in the top-four. Ivanoff will not leave Columbus empty handed as she brings second-team All-American accolades back to the Big Apple. Lu was the second story of Sunday, as the junior qualified for individual title contention in the women’s foil. In her first appearance at the national tournament, she finished with a 19-4 pool play record with a plus-37 indicator, good for third-place and All-America first team nods. As the third-seed, Lu will fence Ohio State’s Alanna Goldie in the semifinal bout. Jackie Dubrovich became an All-American for the third time in her career, as the junior found herself on the second team thanks to a seventh-place perfor- mance. The foil fencer tallied a 15-8 mark and plus-34 scoring index in her third trip at nationals. Epeeist Mason Speta wrapped up the tournament in 11th place. The sophomore went 13-10 on the strip with a plus-2 indicator to pick up the first All-American accolade of her career. 2015 TEAM STANDINGS 14. NJIT 41 15. Wayne St. (MI) 39 School Score 16.

    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2016 Championship 2 History 4 All-Time Team Results 8 2016 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Columbia takes home second straight title: The final day of action at the 2016 NCAA National Collegiate Fencing Championships, held at Brandeis, saw three repeat winners. Two individuals achieved the feat, while Columbia was crowned the team champions for the second year running. The Lions took a 13-point lead into the day, and though it closed to double digits at certain points throughout the day, the repeat was not really in question. Columbia finished with a seven-point victory, 174-167, over Ohio State, thanks to a balanced attack that saw them score 30 points in three of the six weapons and not less than 24 in any of them. “To come out ahead shows what a great group of individuals we have on our team,” Columbia coach Michael Aufrichtig said. “Other than all the practices and workouts and all the preparation, one of the main things it came down to is their heart, their love for each other. So when they’re out there on the strip, they’re fencing for not just themselves but for their entire team.” Columbia is the first repeat NCAA Fencing champion since Penn State in 2009 and 2010. It’s the Lions’ fourth overall combined title since the championship went to this format in 1990. They also won back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. Ohio State finished in second place despite qualifying one less than the maximum 12 qualifiers for the championship.

[MUSIC PLAYING] CARL NATHY: Hello, and welcome to the Behind the Blue podcast. I'm Carl Nathy, pleased to be joined in this interview by Lee Kiefer. Lee has just finished her second year of medical school at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. She grew up in Lexington, and she has some very interesting things going on in her life, including being a two time Olympic. I said, yes, summer Olympics, as in London 2012, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. And she is aiming to compete in the summer 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Lee thanks for taking the time, and welcome in. LEE KIEFER: Thank you for having me. Happy to be here. CARL NATHY: You have a fascinating background. Tell us a little bit. You grew up in Lexington, and grew up in a family that had both fencing in the family and medical education in the family. LEE KIEFER: Yes. Fencing and medicine is all I've ever known since I was born, it seems like. Growing up, my dad, who is a physician, he decided that he wanted to try fencing. He hadn't picked up a foil, let's say, in 10, 15 years. And me and my siblings watched him compete at a local tournament. And then he asked if we wanted to try it. We said yes, and then almost 20 years later, I'm still here.

    Fencing NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S 2014 Highlights Dominant weekend gives Penn State 13th national championship: Penn State clinched its 13th national title with a dominant per- formance in the 2014 NCAA Fencing Championships on Sunday. This title is Penn State’s third in the past six years. Penn State is now the winningest program in NCAA fencing. Penn State fi nished the team competition with 180 bout victories toppling Princeton’s second-place total of 159 bout victories, and St. John’s third-place total of 156 bout victories. Individually, sophomore Kaito Streets claimed the 2014 men’s saber championship. Streets became 13th individual champion for the Nittany Lions in program history.

  • USA Fencing Board of Directors Meeting Columbus, Ohio July 1, 2013 CEO Report 1. Key Success Factors
    USA Fencing Board of Directors Meeting Columbus, Ohio July 1, 2013 CEO Report 1. Key Success Factors Finance. This year through budget cuts, better management oversight and procedures, the organization is on track to meet our projected $840,000 positive net income. If achieved, this will be the highest net income that USA Fencing has ever met. We have paid down our current and long term liabilities at an impressive rate. Specifically, since the beginning of this fiscal year we have paid down on our accounts payable by $958,000. Cash Flow has been carefully monitored and we have successfully worked through our low cash periods. Credit terms are now being extended to us which is a crucial part of managing cash flow. This is not only a huge improvement from 2012, but will provide a good reference for us next season. As of June, none of the $250,000 line of credit provided to us by the USFF has been accessed. Development. USA Fencing has completed two giving campaigns this year. Life members and past donors received a personalized letter at the end of year highlighting our successes and plans for 2013-14. To wrap up the 2012-13 season, an electronic appeal will be sent out to all members in conjunction with an ad in the Summer Nationals program. General donation revenue is up over 2011-12 by 53% reflecting an increase in over $12,000. A formal development plan was created for diversifying and increasing annual giving revenues. The organization is also applying for grant funding outside of the USOC grant opportunities and will continue to seek out other foundation opportunities.

General Information and Organizational Items General announcements Remarks – Kalle Weeks, President Ms. Weeks extended congratulations to all athletes named to our Olympic and Paralympic Teams. She also acknowledged all of their coaches. A lot of hard work, many long plane rides and sore muscles and much dedication to our sport have gone into the pursuit which now has paid off with a trip to London. Congratulations are due also to World Teams not going as teams to the Games. Congratulations were extended to the Women’s Sabre and Men’s Epee teams for their World Championship medals. This represents the first ever world championship for the USA in Men’s Epee, team or individual. Two members of the Board, Soren and Mario, are going to London as part of our team. This is a tremendous statement of their commitment to the sport that they can simultaneously serve on the Board and achieve what they have athletically. Some concerns have been raised about an early draft of a USOC audit report. We are currently looking into circumstances under which circulation of a draft occurred. There is some background material in the Executive Director’s report. We will further discuss the report during the Budget & Finance portion of this meeting.
