The 2026 Pomme de Terre is happening this weekend at Brandeis University, and Team RIFAC is already off to a great start! It was an all RIFAC final with Elena and Mabel facing off in the gold medal bout of the “E” Women’s Foil event. Elena won earning her D rating! Eleanor also had a strong day placing 5th in that event.
Great work, girls! Go RIFAC! 💚💚💚

Congrats to our HEMA fencers who competed at the Iron Gate Exhibition Spring 2026 in Danvers, MA!
