In this episode of Wake Up the Echoes, Tony Simeone sits down with national champions Chase Emmer and Eszter Muhari to talk all things Notre Dame fencing—from their latest title win to the unique team culture that’s turned the program into a quiet powerhouse. They share what it’s like competing on the national and Olympic stage, how Coach Gia builds an environment of support and success, and why fencing, despite being a solo sport, thrives on team energy. It’s a conversation full of heart, humor, and just enough blade talk to make you feel like an expert.
