Fencer Claire Rivard Places Third in Fencing Tournament

The Pinecrest Fencing team competed in a tournament at Walton High School on September 15, competing against Centennial, Dunwoody, New Manchester, North Atlanta, Roswell and Walton.

Claire Rivard took 3rd Place overall for the Women, and Matthew Crane placed 8th overall for the Men.

 

Pinecrest had a record number of fencers place in the Top 16 (score points towards qualification for championships) in both Men’s and Women’s competitions. Five women and four men placed in the Top 16, including first year fencer Delaney Bingham. Additionally, every Paladins fencer, including first-year fencers, made the Direct Elimination round.  Way to go, team!

 

The Paladins’ next match is at Best Academy on September 29th.
