Title: Men's fencing
Post by: David Harding on May 26, 2024, 09:43:49 PM
While women's fencing is a varsity sport, men's fencing is a club program.  I just noticed that last month the men won the national club championship https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/05/diversity-empathy-fuel-national-win-mens-fencing-club

Neat. Nice story.

A little research reveals that Brown, Cornell, and Dartmouth are the three that don't sponsor a varsity men's team at this point. Brown dropped it after 2020, Cornell after 1993.

Like football, our three Ivy championships are shared championships and a long time ago.

Only Dartmouth doesn't sponsor a women's team.
