Yeshiva University Athletics

Steve Mellner, Alex Traiman, and Hadar Weiss were members of the Yeshiva University men's fencing team that captured the 1999 Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Fencing Association title in epee, despite entering the tournament as a No. 5 seed. The epee team's MACFA crown is on record as the first conference championship for any YU sport. The Maccabees took home first-place at the Army meet that same year. This trio finished third in epee at the 2000 MACFA Championships and recorded a third-place finish at the Drew University meet in 2000.
