Experience to Fuel WMC Fencing Team in Upcoming Season

On Dec. 19 the West Morris Central High School fencing teams, both girls and boys, will have the chance to jumpstart a new season and build on last year’s successes.

The boys team is excited to bring back seniors who ended last year’s campaign on high notes, including Andrew Mange, co-captain, who took first place in last year’s Morris County Championship for Foil.

Joining him is Terry Peters, co-captain, who took third place in the same tournament as a foilist. The two were on the same squad that won first place in the tournament and also took third place in the District 1 Championships. They were joined by Daly Mauldin.

Casey Shoudy for Epee and Clayton Wong for Sabre also return to for their senior season.

On the ladies’ side, seniors Kelly Reibel for Epee and Hasoni Austin for Sabre will both return to the squad. The girls will be coached by newcomer Gladys Berardi, who brings 40 years of experience. She’ll be joined by assistant coach and Central alum Sabina Orsi.

The boys are coached by Jason Manzella and assistant coach Ryan Gelsinger.
