History

Harvard founded the first collegiate fencing team in the United States in 1888.[3] The team has captured seven individual NCAA titles.

Eli Dershwitz (saber) was the seventh Harvard fencer to compete in the Olympics when he fenced for Team USA at the 2016 Rio Olympics, with the prior two having been Emily Cross '09 (Team USA; she won a silver medal in team foil) and Noam Mills '12 (Team Israel; épée), who both competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[4][5] Cross and Mills were the first Harvard University female fencers to qualify for the Olympics.[6][7]
