Harvard women's epeeist Noam Mills and Columbia men's saberist Jeff Spear have been named the national collegiate fencers of the week for Feb. 2-8, in the third installment of the awards (as announced by CollegeFencing360.com).
It was an impressive week for freshmen from several teams, as three of the individuals who have received CF360 weekly honorable mention also are newcomers: Duke men's foilist Dan Cohen, Princeton women's foilist Lucille Jarry and Harvard women's sabreist Caroline Vloka (Pennsylvania junior men's sabreist Jonathan Berkowsky rounds out the honorable mention selection).

Note that additional details and action photos of these six fencers will be added to that fencer-of-the-week release. We know that this site is growing quickly in popularity – with nearly 1,100 unique visitors in a span of two weeks. With a relatively light week – although plans are in the works to track college fencers at the upcoming Junior Olympics – we hope to catch up on recent event summaries, in addition to introducing some new offerings to the site. There also will be a blog report on today's meet at NYU (featuring Columbia, Sacred Heart and Vassar, plus the host Violets).
As always, stay tuned and please pass along your feedback, site suggestions, etc. to: editor@collegefencing360.com.
