Dudas Named to U.S. Olympic Fencing Coaching Staff
July 27, 2016 | Men's Fencing, Women's Fencing
Zoltan Dudas, who has led Princeton to an NCAA top-four finish in each of the last six years including the 2013 NCAA title, has been named a U.S. Olympic coach at the upcoming Games in Brazil.
Dudas will be one of three coaches on the épée staff, with Tiger fencer Katharine Holmes among those Dudas will be coaching. In his 10 seasons, Dudas has coached 38 Princeton épée fencers to All-America honors, including an NCAA title by Jonathan Yergler '13 a year before Princeton won its first combined men's/women's NCAA team title.
It will be Dudas' first time coaching at the Olympics, but it'll be the second consecutive Olympic Games in which a Dudas-coached Princeton fencer will be competing. Susannah Scanlan '14 helped the U.S. épée team win bronze in 2012 in London.
The women's épée competition will take place August 6 for the individual event and August 11 for the team competition, while the men will compete August 9 individually and August 14 for the team event.
