Oz was nominated fencer of
the month by her coach, Kit, because she “practices hard, has really improved,
and has a great sense of fun and competiveness about her that I would like to
clone in everyone!!!” Oz wanted to learn to fence and took the Adult
Beginner’s class a second time to improve her skills. “She stays and
practices and can't wait until the first tournament”, according to Coach Kit.
Oz says she is starting "to get it" and really enjoys it.
She even brought her mom in to watch fencing because she thought it was
so great! Oz is married, loves to dance
and is a professor at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
