The Dragon fencing team competes at the varsity level in the New Jersey Independent Fencing Association (NJIFA) league and as part of the New Jersey Interscholastic Fencing Association (NJIFA) and the New Jersey Independent School Athletic Association (NJISAA) prep A league.
On the team are both experienced and novice fencers — all of whom enjoy learning and honing their skills with epée, foil, and saber weaponry. Our fencers have had tremendous success locally, nationally, and internationally; in recent years, individuals have ranked among the best in the world.
Come fence with us!
Coaches
Varsity: Tristan Decker (head), Rashied McCreary (assistant), Alison Wolf (assistant)
Participation in athletics is an integral part of the overall school experience for our students, and our athletic teams are a source of pride for the Kent Place community. Our philosophy is to provide a competitive athletic program where our student-athletes can reach their full potential.
