STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The Harvard men's fencing team showed its depth early at the Penn State Garret Open, totaling six top 10 finishes and two medals across the three weapons in the team's first competition of the season.
Freshman Michael Raynis won silver in Epee, and teammate James Hawrot finished eighth to give the Crimson two top 10 finishers there. Meanwhile, three Harvard fencers grabbed top 10 spots in the Saber, led by Valentin Staller, who won bronze in the event. Eric Arzoian was fifth and Thomas Kolasa was 10th.
"In the men, we have some real depth in our weapons," said head coach Peter Brand.
Freshman Lucas Lin finished eighth in the men's foil, leading the Crimson there at his first collegiate competition.
