Support Rory's Journey to Junior Olympics

Help Aurora "Rory" Cross Blades with the Nation's Best at the Junior Olympics! ️

Meet Aurora "Rory", a 13-year-old from Middleton, and the only qualifier in her category from Idaho representing the Utah-Southern Idaho Region. Rory will journey in February to compete in the Junior Women’s and Cadet Women’s Epee categories on a national stage, bringing pride to Idaho and showcasing the talent growing right here in our community.

With your help, Rory will represent her Utah-Southern Idaho Region in Charlotte, NC, competing in both epee categories at the 2025 USA Fencing Junior Olympics.

Rory’s love for fencing began during a summer camp at Boise Fencing Club in 2021. Fast forward to 2024, she committed herself to competitive training, balancing school, practice, and competitions—all to pursue her dream of excelling in this unique and exciting sport. Fencing may not be as well-known as football or basketball, but it’s a thrilling, challenging discipline that’s gaining traction, and Rory is proving that Idaho athletes can compete with the best. Thanks to the coaching and support from Boise Fencing Club, Rory has qualified! Now, she needs your help to make it happen.

Every contribution also helps raise awareness for fencing and alternative sports, inspiring others to explore passions in individual sports.
