The annual USMA-RMC weekend takes place Feb. 9-11 at West Point. This is an official exchange conducted between the two colleges that centers around athletic and academic competitions.
This year, competitions will be held in martial arts, judo, pistol, men’s volleyball, women’s fencing, crew, debate and hockey.
Most of the competitions will take place in Gillis Field House Feb.10. Pistol takes place in bldg. 665 and hockey will be played at Tate Rink, Holleder Center. The complete schedule is listed below.
This is the first time that the women’s fencing team has competed during RMC weekend. According to team captain senior Kacie Kolb, they usually fence them every other year in November at an invitational tournament that they host and the other years in a dual-match at WestPoint.
