Leaving the Nest: Dolly Lampson
We are extremely proud of our graduating fencers, and will be introducing them over the next several weeks. If you see them, wish them well in their future endeavors! Dolly Lampson I was 11 when I started fencing at MTFC and it quickly became my passion. My coach, Chris Winslow was a huge inspiration in my early fencing years. He saw my potential and encouraged me to pursue my aspirations under the guidance of Christophe Duclos. Christophe shared my enthusiasm for fencing and competition and together we set out to conquer the world. Under his guidance I became a National Champion, finished 7th in a Div1 NAC, and at Junior Olympics I finished in the top 16 for Cadet and Junior. I am excited to be able to continue pursuing my passion for the next four years at Princeton University.
