Rachel was among 21 fencers who quali ed from her club, Fencing Academy of Denver. She quali ed for three events: Cadet Women’s Saber (under 17), Junior Women’s Saber (under 19), and Junior Team Women’s Saber (under 19).
In Cadet Women’s Saber, Rachel nished 70 out of 188 fencers. In Junior Women’s Saber, she nished 144 out of 196. In Junior Team Women’s Saber, Rachel was the anchor fencer of a three- fencer team that nished in the top 16.
