• DEFENDING CHAMPS – At the 2023 Championships at Cornell a year ago, the Princeton women and Harvard men both went undefeated to capture the Ivy League titles. The Princeton women went undefeated (6-0) for the second year in a row while Harvard was 4-0 and claimed its first Ivy title since 2020.
• TOP OF THE PODIUM – Two individual Ivy champions from a year ago are returning to the strips for this year’s championships. On the men’s side, defending foil champion James Chen of Harvard is back while the defending epee champion, Tristan Szapary of Princeton eyes another Ivy title. In addition, two defending national champions are back competing at the event. Harvard women’s foilist Lauren Scruggs as well as Harvard epee fencer Jonas Hansen will look to continue their momentum.
