Victoria Lin Is Long Island's First and Only


HH east Fencing Team | Half Hollow Hills HS East | Facebook

This past week Half Hollow Hills East High School's Victoria Lin entered Long Island’s history book.

The Hills East senior became the first fencer on Long Island to win a county championship in two different disciplines. She had previously won the title as a foil fencer two years ago and this season won in the Women's Epee.

Lin went 14-1 and 5-0 in the final pool to win the Suffolk girls epee championship and become the first dual discipline athlete ever on Long Island to do so.

Lin moved disciplines last year to help the team who lost their epees competitors. 

Credit can also be given to Hills head coach Steven Ferrantello who suggested the move and had confidence in Lin's ability to adapt.

Overall it was a great event for Hills East, who were the host school as they watched three fencers win at the championships.

Joining Lin in the winning were Jeremy Wu, who won the Men's Epee and Evie Pierre-Louis who won the Women's Sabre.

Evie Pierre-Louis swept the third pool to win the saber championship.
