Medler points toward Junior Olympics
When most people decide to start a new
hobby or try something new, seldom do they
expect to become successful at it right off the bat
But nobody ever told that to Oregon
sophomore Mike Medler, a member of the
University fencing club
After fencing for just over a year, Medler has
gone from a freshman just taking a fencing class
for general interest, to the first Duck ever to
qualify for the National AAU Junior Olympics in
fencing The Junior Olympics are set for the
weekend of February 13-15 in Los Angeles
"I had been interested in fencing for a long
time, so I took a class last fall and, after that, just
started showing up to the club practices,” says
the South Eugene High School graduate
Medler thinks one of the biggest reasons for
his immediate success as a fencer is coach Norm
Campbell, who is in his first year of coaching at
Oregon
"Last year, the club got together when it
could,” Medler says "This year, with the coach,
we get instruction, an opportunity for private
instruction from the coach if we want it, and we
get to fence against him (Campbell), and that
makes a big difference With the coach, practice
is not so much hit and miss, we have 20 people
going all the time "
Campbell's membership on the 1974 off-year
Olympic team should prove to be the biggest
factor behind the club's improvement, especially
that of Medler
Campbell says it is Medler's physical prowess
that has led to the young fencer s quick grasp of
the sport
"Mike is big and strong," Campbell says
"Fencing is a sport of technique, but being big
and strong can’t hurt He also has extreme con
fidence He has no fear of anybody, and goes into
every match with a 'I'm going to take them atti
tude', which he very often does Also, he is
intelligent In the qualifying tournament in Port
land he used techniques that I had showed him
only a couple of weeks before Needless to say, I
was very happy.”
Medler agrees with his coach that he is a
physical fencer
"I use my speed and strength right now. I'm
still enough of a rookie that people complain
about my unorthodox style ”
Just what was involved in Medler's road to
Los Angeles to compete against 18 to 20-year-old
fencers from all over the country?
First, he fenced in several tournaments in
Portland in the fall against clubs from the Portland
area With the Olympic coach residing in Port
land, quite often, even in the smaller tournaments,
