Fencing with class Taking a class or just showing up at the practices are the best ways to become involved with the fencing club at PSU. There are members at all levels of experience that partici– pate in the competitions, from begin– ners to advanced fencers. They only foil fence. The competitions consist of three man teams and the victories are tallied to determine a winner. There is a core group of members which fence in all of the competi– tions and there are many others who do so solely for recreation. "Fencing is a great sport. It is high on aerobic activity and mental activity. It has a different flavor than most other sports. It's a one on one fast-paced dual with an opponent. There's something romantic about it," said Dennis Castello, fencing group member. -Michelle Keesecker. 150
