Head coach Alex Beguinet enters his 30th season at the helm of the Duke program. Beguinet has compiled a 523-470 (.527) overall record in his 29 years with the Blue Devils and has coached two NCAA Champions.

In Beguinet’s time at Duke, the women’s program has compiled a 243-260 record under his direction and produced one three-time NCAA Champion and fi ve All-Americans, while the men’s program has posted a 280-210 mark with 15 All-Americans and one national champion. Beguinet has helped Blue Devil fencers reach the NCAA Fencing Championships for 28 of his 29 years while sending over 90 participants to the national championships.

In 2014, both the men and women found success under Beguient and the rest of the coaching staff’s guidance, sending fencers to nationals for the 20th consecutive season. The men posted a 20-8 mark during the season and sent four fencers to the NCAAs, with three earning All-America status. On the women’s side, the team fi nished the year with a 17-13 record and were represented at the NCAA Championships by Sarah Collins who fi nished 12th to earn Duke’s fourth All-America selection of 2014.

Beguinet mentored one of the most successful fencers in NCAA history in three-time NCAA Saber Champion, alum Becca Ward. Ward, who won the bronze medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, reached the NCAA Championship match in each of her four seasons. She won the 2009, 2011 and 2012 NCAA titles while fi nishing as runner-up in 2010.

Beguinet served at US Fencing’s annual summer Junior Olympic Training Camps as a staff member for 10 years, served as coach for several International Cadet Championships and World Championships, and also participated as a coach at the fencing events for seven Olympic Festivals.

Alex Beguinet was the Director of the US Fencing Association’s coaching education program, Coaches College, from 1993 until the program was dissolved in 2011, and was a member of the education staff since the program, held annually at US Olympic Training Centers, was fi rst implemented in 1985.

Born in Toulouse, France, Maitre Beguinet received his Master of Arms Degree from the National Sports Institute in Paris in 1976. Beguinet came to Duke after serving eight years as the head fencing coach at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore.

Beguinet was the owner/director of Salle La Boessiere in Portland from 1980-84. While there, in addition to coaching for Lewis and Clark College in Portland, he coached at Portland Community College, Clark College in Vancouver, Wash., Mt.

Huchwajda, a member of the German National Team who fenced in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, came to Duke after a seven-year stint as the saber coach at Oregon Fencing Alliance in Portland. At Oregon Fencing Alliance, Huchwajda mentored a number of the nation’s top fencers, including former Blue Devil and three-time NCAA Saber Champion Becca Ward.

Prior to his time at Oregon Fencing Alliance, Huchwajda was the saber coach at the world-renowned Tauberbischofsheim Fencing Club in Tauberbischofsheim, Germany, from 1992-2006. During his time at Tauberbischofsheim, Huchwajda coached Olympic bronze medalist Alex Weber, Junior World Cup winner Tamara Biesinger and Cadet World Cup runner-up Mathias Grimm.

Huchwajda enjoyed a decorated fencing career, fencing saber with the German National Team from 1991-98.

Huchwajda also served in the German military in the sport division where he competed as saber fencer and was the 1991 World Champion at the World Military Championships.
