Elizabeth Rhodes

has received her official acceptance to the Cornell University Class of 2011

Graduating senior and Salle Mauro foil fencer Elizabeth Rhodes has received her official acceptance to the Cornell University Class of 2011. Elizabeth has been fencing with Mauro since 2000 and next year will join the NCAA Division I Women’s Fencing Program at Cornell coached by Iryna Dolgikh. Other fine universities including Princeton, Duke, Northwestern, and Haverford also recruited Elizabeth in the past year.  While fencing was an important part of her college application, Elizabeth had a good academic record in many of the most difficult courses at St. John’s where she goes to high school, made top tests scores, and served hundred of hours in leadership and community service activities. With hard work at the salle and at school, our fencers can fulfill their dream to attend an Ivy League university. GO BIG RED and congratulations to Elizabeth!
