The absolutely normal life of UNC fencer Amelia Cuomo

Posted May 14, 2018
Amelia Cuomo doesn’t want to hear about your busy schedule. Cuomo, 19, participates in the UNC athletic bands. She’s in the Carolina Choir. Her majors? Physics and mathematics. Oh, and not to mention she’s a Division 1 student-athlete. Yes, Cuomo walked onto the UNC fencing team in 2017. Had she fenced a bout in her life? No. But did that stop her? (Argyle Report)
