The day is not done, but it looks like Harvard will qualify 12 fencers, as well. Unless they are able to get one of the two wildcards (unlikely) for men’s saber, Columbia will likely only qualify 11. No other teams will have 12 fencers qualified.


Good call

Doing it by eye, but it apears ND and Harvard are the only 2 Teams with a full complement of 12.


3 teams qualified 11

USA Fencing (on social media) compiled a list of qualified fencers and confirmed that Notre Dame and Harvard are the only schools who qualified 12 fencers. Columbia, Penn State and Princeton all qualified 11 fencers followed by St. Johns and Ohio State who each qualified 9.

We are in a good position to win a 4th national championship in a row, but Harvard will be tough. Plus, one of the teams with 11 qualifying fencers could have a great showing and pull into contention.
