Hadley Husisian (; born July 26, 2003)[2] is an American épée fencer. Currently, she competes for Princeton University, where she has earned All-American honors and the Ivy League Women's Épée Championship.[3] Husisian is also a member of Team USA and has qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.[4]
Hadley Husisian began fencing at the age of ten, inspired by a character on the TV show "iCarly" who participated in the sport.[5] This portrayal sparked her interest in fencing, leading her to pursue it more seriously, getting involved with fencing clubs in the DMV area.[6] At this time, Husisian trained about 30 hours a week. Coached by Guillermo Madrigal, she had success in the cadet division (under-17), winning three national gold medals and a silver. These achievements helped her secure a spot on the U.S. Junior National Team.[7] She became the Junior Women's Épée World Champion in 2022, marking her as the first American to win this title since 2008.[8]
Husisian competed in college at Princeton University, where she received All-American honors, finished third at the 2023 NCAA Championships and won the Ivy League Women's Épée Championship. She was selected to compete at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[9] [10] At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Husisian placed twelfth in the Women's Épée Individual Event and seventh in the Women's Épée Team Event.
Beyond her achievements in fencing, Hadley Husisian is involved in charitable activities and community service. She started a "Ton of Food" drive, which successfully collected 6,271 pounds of food and over a thousand dollars in monetary donations. Husisian promoted the drive by distributing flyers in local neighborhoods and arranging contactless pickups, with a goal to reach ten tons of donations.[11]
