SWRHS senior Charles Pedersen (Foil) had the highlight of his high school athletic career this past Saturday.

Charles has qualified for individual playoffs all four years of his high school career, earning third place in his freshman year, fourth place in his sophomore year, and second place in his junior year.

Despite an arcane rule that forced a three-way fence-off after he led by seven touches at the end of regulation in the tournament, Charles would not be denied his goal. Charles won back-to-back bouts in the fence off, for a final record of 16-1, to secure the 2025 Suffolk County Championship in Boys Foil Fencing.

Congratulations to senior “King” Charles Pedersen for his incredible perseverance and triumphs thus far and wish him continued success as he furthers his academic and athletic careers at Wheaton College in Norton, MA as a member of the Lyons Men’s Fencing Team.
