Biography
Graeme Jennings was an Australian fencer who competed at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Jennings would settle in the United States where he graduated from the American Fencing Academy masters’ program at Cornell University in 1980. He then returned to Australia serving as head coach at Sydney University, but it was short-lived.
In 1985 Jennings returned to the US as the head coach at the University of Chicago. In 1985 he moved back to Cornell as an assistant coach, and in 1988 he was named head coach at Cornell, a position he held until the 1992/93 season, when Cornell ended its fencing program.
A few months after he stopped coaching at Cornell, Jennings was killed in a car accident near Ovid, New York.
