Former Marauder sets sights on Pan Am Games
Julia Creusot was only 11 years-old when she was first introduced to the sport that would change her life. Five years later, she is representing Canada in fencing at the Cadet Pan-American Championships in Cancun, Mexico.
Creusot said her main goal right now is to stay focused on her training.
“I think it’s more the mental preparation, remembering this is just another tournament and, yeah, I want to go and do well but it’s more for a learning experience,” she said.
The 16-year-old is originally from Prince Albert, but currently attends school in Regina to be closer to her coaches. She trains four to five days a week, split between actual fencing practice and strength and cardio training.
