by Derrick Bean Slava Zingerman, already a three-time NCAA men’s epee fencing champion, has been invited to the 2010 NCAA Fencing Championship at Harvard University March 25-28. The Wayne State University senior is looking to cap off his collegiate career by making men’s epee history with four consecutive titles. Fellow Wayne State fencers, junior Jakub Gibczynski (men’s sabre) and freshman Olivia Dobbs (women’s foil), were also invited to compete in the championships. Including WSU’s trio of student-athletes, there will be a field of 144 competitors in men’s and women’s fencing at the NCAA Fencing Championship. Zingerman placed fourth in epee competition at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships held at Northwestern University March 13-14. Sunday marked his third top-five finish at the regional championships. Gibczynski and Dobbs both came in seventh place in their respective divisions. Zingerman won the Midwest Fencing Conference Championships at the University of Notre Dame March 6-7. The first-place finish is his third conference title in four years. |
