I currently go to Lawrenceville and a good friend of mine is a top fencer; their older sibling was also recruited for fencing.

They are not satisfied with the school’s handling of fencing, both before and during COVID. From what I’ve heard, the team has good fencers, but the coaching and school support (esp. for those who want to attend outside tournaments) is not very good. They would often also have to leave campus over weekends or even on weekdays to go to said tournaments, and did sessions off-campus 2x per week; while this was possible freshman year, I’m unsure of what they’ll be doing now given the heightened academic pressure.
