Penn State Sports Wrap-Up (3/24-3/30)

Fencing
Penn State finished in 6th place at the NCAA Championships. They had three All-Americans: Ryan Griffiths (6th place-epee), Arwen Borowiak (7th-foil), and Kamar Skeete (8th-saber). Sebastiano Bicego (10th-foil) and Clement Perrier (10th-saber). Kateryna Chorniy finished in third (epee) for the women as well as Samantha Catantan (9th-foil) and Ola Strzalkowski (10th-saber). Excellent finish to a season that looks like it was a bit of a rebuild for a fencing program that had ten All-Americans last year and finished in second place.
