Video Highlights from the Round-Robins!

2007-02-26T10:26:00.000-05:00

Our trusty Canon digital camcorder was roaming the floor at the Ivy League Fencing Round-Robins on Sunday, February 25 at Harvard's Gordon Track. I was not able to get as much women's fencing video as I would have hoped, but we have some sound from Columbia All-American and 2004 U.S. Olympian Emily Jacobson. Congratulations to the Lions on the women's title, and to both Columbia and Harvard on sharing the men's title.

Columbia Takes One Outright ...

2007-02-25T18:21:00.000-05:00

The last matches of the day have been recorded and it has been determined that the Women's Champion for 2007 is ...

Columbia University.

Riding a perfect undefeated season, Columbia stormed through the Ivy Championship with a 13-0 record that saw the women win their seventh Ivy League championship in the program's history, and the first since 2003.

Congratulations Columbia Women on a great showing at both the South and North Championships.

... And Shares One with Harvard

2007-02-25T18:20:00.000-05:00

It has been determined that the Men's Championship, by virtue of identical records, will be shared by Columbia University and Harvard University. Harvard actually won the head-to-head match up today, 14-13, to force the tie, but Columbia had carried an undefeated record into the 2nd day of competition, whereas Harvard was defeated in their first bout of the South championships.

The tie meant that Harvard would retain a share of the title that they won outright in 2006, and Columbia would also join the discussion as Co-Champions.

Congratulations goes out to the men at both schools.

Delay with Rounds 2 and 3 Scores

2007-02-25T16:42:00.000-05:00

I had to throw some 'bows as they say in order to get back on the Internet here at Harvard University (and yes for the record I know it is Harvard University and not the University of Harvard) ... I actually only wrote the University of Harvard before because it was a joke swirling around the immediate area.

You know - a joke - kinda like not being able to access wireless internet because there isn't any? Yeah, kinda like that.

So since we are all on the same page here with the joke, we can move forward as one.

Bring on Rounds 2 and 3 in a Speed Round of Scores. They're delicious.

Round One Updates - The Scores are Comin'

2007-02-25T13:24:00.000-05:00

I apologize for the delay in score reporting but there is a good reason for the problem: lack of internet access for my laptop at Harvard.

No worries, I broke into a fun little compy and hijacked the ethernet cord, hacked into the mainframe...and now we're online. And just like Bryan Adams ... everything I do, I do it for you. So if I get arrested for illegal activity - I want all of ya'll vouching for me at the trial.

I also learned something today ... a fun little fact if you will ... Although Harvard is technically in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the athletic facility where we will be reporting from is actually in Allston, Massachusetts (by physical address). Therefore, greetings from Cambridge/Allston/Boston (depending on what computer I am on when reporting).

Anyway, on with the scores, and better late than never, right?

All-Ivy Explained

2007-02-19T13:14:00.000-05:00

The method for determining All-Ivy status in fencing is a fairly simple one.

First, fencers must have competed in 75 percent of the team's bouts. That means that the men must have at least 12 decisions on the Ivy record and the women must have at least 14.

Of those groups, the top three fencers in terms of winning percentage at each weapon are the first-team All-Ivy designees. In the event of a tie for third place, all fencers who are tied will be named to the first team.

The second team will be comprised of the number resulting in six minus the number of first-teamers. If four fencers earned first-team status, two will be added to the second team. Again, all ties for the sixth-place finish will result in those fencers being named to the second team.

This website originally reported that the North Championships would take place at Harvard's Malkin Athletic Center on Feb. 25. The date and the school are correct, but the venue will be the Gordon Track & Field Center, next to Harvard Stadium.

Crimson In Need

2007-02-12T12:51:00.000-05:00

The folks at Harvard have asked us to share the following:

At this time last year, Sam Cross was enjoying an All-Ivy League season for Harvard's men's fencing team, which was on its way toward winning league and national championships — no easy task.

Today, Sam faces a much tougher challenge.

Cross was diagnosed during the holiday break with acute myelogenous leukemia — a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow that typically affects older adults.

Sam has already begun chemotherapy treatment, but is in need of a bone marrow transplant to optimize his chances for a full recovery.

To that end, representatives from The Marrow Foundation will be on the Harvard campus Thursday, Feb. 15 from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Harvard Hillel, located in Rosovsky Hall at 52 Mount Auburn Street in Cambridge. Rpresentatives will be present to screen volunteers as potential donors.

For more information about becoming a bone marrow donor, visit the National Marrow Donor Program.

Sunday From Philadelphia

2007-02-10T13:35:00.000-05:00

The chase for the 2007 Ivy League Men's and Women's Fencing Championships begins on Sunday in Hutchinson Gymnasium on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Chuck Yrigoyen and Alex Searle will be on hand to report the results for the first half of the championship. Two weeks later, the completion of the Ivy Championships will take place at Malkin Athletic Center on the campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass.

Ivy@50: Leigh Hochberg

2007-02-05T09:27:00.000-05:00

"If Brown didn't have a fencing team, I probably would've wound up matriculating somewhere else."

And Leigh Hochberg's decades-long association with Brown University has brought him to the cusp of a major medical milestone -- enabling people who are paralyzed to control devices with their minds.

He's the principal investigator for a study using the BrainGate Neural Interface System on live subjects -- in this case, with patients who have lost use of their limbs -- taking place at Harvard's Massachusetts General Hospital. The BrainGate system is a 4mm square (baby aspirin-sized) semiconductor implanted into a patient's motor cortex, the part of the brain that normally controls movement. It then sends motor cortex signals to an outside processor, which translates the signals into computer directives. "The first person [with the implant] controlled a TV, opened simulated email, and transported a piece of candy to someone's hand with a robotic arm," says Hochberg.

Ivy@50: Maya Lawrence

2007-02-04T15:46:00.001-05:00

Maya Lawrence is in Europe, working as an "assistante d'angalis" at a lycée (high school) in Paris, through a program administered by the French Embassy in Washington, D.C. She's also training with some of the world's best fencers in preparation for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.

It's a hard path -- competing on a world-class level in preparation for the Olympics, while beginning as a teacher of English as a second language. And Lawrence could have picked an easier venue for this training. When she arrived in France in September 2005 she "didn't know the language. If you start [speaking] in English they get mad at you," she says, "but if you try first in French they're fine."

Ivy@50: Bob Cottingham

2007-02-04T15:37:00.000-05:00

When Bob Cottingham arrived as a freshman sabre fencer in 1984, Columbia fencing had not won an NCAA title since 1971. When he graduated in 1988, the program just won its second straight championship and would go on to win five titles in seven years. Cottingham was key to the revival of this elite program.

Growing up in Orange, N.J., he "played football and lacrosse, which is my favorite sport," he says. "I can also remember watching other athletes on television in the Olympics." He would soon join those athletes on the Olympic stage.
