Video Highlights from the Round-Robins!

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 ...

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

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.
