Hello, my name is Sarah Kiel

Sarah Kiel has wanted to fence since she saw “The Princess Bride” in fourth grade, but she didn’t have the time and opportunity until she came to MSU. Here, she hit the ground running. She’s been in the MSU Fencing Club since “day one of practice” her freshman year.

The club practices from 8-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

The human biology senior is the president of the club, as well as the women’s foil squad captain.

“It’s like any other sport,” Kiel said. “If you try, you show up and put in good effort, you’ll be fine.”
