Despite the scorching summer heat, 11 brave Xavier School fencers joined the recently concluded CF Novice-Aspirants Invitational Challenge, held at CF Fencing Hall in Quezon City, on May 7, 2023. Even though the Xavier boys have only started fencing in late 2022, the results showed that with grit and persistence, nothing is impossible as 7 of the 11 Xavier fencers brought home medals. 

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our Xavier Fencing Team coaches who have put in the time and effort to train and guide our young fencers as they embark on their fencing careers.
