Officially, Chase Emmer (men’s foil) and Kaylin Hsieh (women’s epee) took the year off to qualify for the Olympics. A third, Eszter Muhari (women’s epee) had to leave after first semester to join the Hungarian Olympic squad’s effort. All 3 were pivotal in the National Championship last year. Qualifying 12 this year is a testament to the depth of the ND fencing team.
