The Cardinals swept past their competition at the All-City Tournament and five will move on to compete at All-State.

The Cardinals beat out ten other schools for first place at the All-City Tournament. On a sunny Saturday morning, all the fencers in the AAA league came out to George Washington High School and competed for individual titles. “I’m honored to be invited to compete with other skilled fencers” said senior fencer Arlo Lobascio, who placed 9th in the boys division.

Sophomore Alex Cheng placed first in the boys division. Lowell placed first by earning 48 points total, beating out their rivals, the University High School Red Devils, by twelve points. “It’s always great to beat out your main competition,” Lobascio said.

Starters Alex Cheng, Walter Pan, Jayne Stewart and Melissa Stuart, as well back up Elizabeth Chen will continue on to the All-State Invitational at 9 am May 15 here at Lowell.
