Has this ever happened to you? You're practicing the night before a tournament and you realize that all of your blades are either broken, need to be re-wired, or just are not passing pre-competition inspection. Well worry no more! Stephen Croskrey (EWU Fencing) is hosting an armory clinic later this month. This event is open to all fencers and parents looking to improve their skills.

When: 10/25/2025 from 10:30am-2:30pm
Cost: $10 (paid online or in-person)

We had an epic UI team tournament yesterday. Great fencing all around!!! We had lots of cheering, comebacks, and camaraderie. Thank you fencers for showing up and fencing your hearts out, subs who stepped in for missing teammates, and directors who refereed between bouts! We’re thankful for all of you.

The teams were 🥁:

A—Raccoon
B—Crispy Disc Jockeys
C—Mystery Box
D—Tall Glass of Water

Congratulations to ”Tall Glass of Water” for bringing home the gold!!! Round of applause for Duncan Palmatier, Parker, and Joel Kim👏🏻

Also, this is our first recent tournament without any broken blades🥳
