Mariel Zagunis ’03 is Coming to Campus on May 25th

Mariel Zagunis ’03 is Coming to Campus on Friday, May 25th!

In the midst of competitions and training for the London Olympics 2012, Mariel Zagunis is coming to campus for a true Valiant send-off. Save the Date for Friday, May 25th from 1-2 p.m. for an all school Valiant Rally!

This assembly will be open to parents, friends and family. It’s not too often you get to meet someone of her caliber and prestige!   

Two-time World Champion Mariel Zagunis is the only U.S. women’s fencer to hold an Olympic title, having won the gold medal at the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. With 21 World Championship medals, she is the most decorated fencer in the history of U.S. Fencing.

Mariel Zagunis returned to campus in September of 2008 after her win in the Beijing Olympics. She fenced with our football coach, displayed her two gold medals and met with residents at Maryville.

See the touching Mariel Zagunis’ commercial by TD Ameritrade or read the Oregonian’s most recent article on her.
