What child doesn’t love swinging a light saber from Star Wars or playing pirate with a sword?
Justin Fraser of Lexington describes how his then 5-year-old daughter Morgan got interested in the sport of fencing. “She and her brother were playing with little bubble wands in the backyard during COVID. And basically, she instead of blowing bubbles, they were playing swords, and she had this beautiful form. And so, when she came in, I said, Morgan, you look like a fencer. And she said, what's a fencer? And I said, someone who does sword fighting as a sport? And she said, yes. And so that's what started it.”
Now nine years old, Morgan Fraser is a medal winning fencer. She took the gold medal in her age group last August at the Pan American Youth Championship in Uruguay.
