The University of the Philippines Junior Maroon Fencing Team participated in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) last Wednesday to Saturday, February 8-11 at the UST Quadricentennial Pavilion Arena.

The trio, consisting of Grade 11 students Enzo Bautista, Rad Pascual, and Raymund Creencia, fell short of their attempt to reach their most wanted podium finish after University of the East (UE) extended their streak, winning in every single division and finishing this season as the champions.

“Kaya ko sana na better yung results,” Bautista said when asked if he was satisfied with his performance this year after ranking 6th overall in the boy’s individual epee. It was a close fight between Bautista UE’s RJ Perez in the quarterfinals that ended the former’s fight for a semi-finals seat.

The Junior Fencers would need more players to create a stronger and more solid line-up to come back stronger as the next season arrives. // by Blade Saliva
