Dagmara Wozniak

Wozniak is entering her fourth year as an assistant coach for the Crimson fencing program, joining Harvard during the 2021-22 academic year.

The 2023-24 season was a banner year for Harvard fencing, as Wozniak pushed the Crimson to its first NCAA National Championship since 2006. With Wozniak's guidance, four Harvard saber fencers qualified for the 2024 NCAA Championships. At the 2024 Ivy League Championships, Wozniak mentored sophomore Zoe Kim to the 2024 Ivy League Women's Saber Championship, the first of her career.

In 2022-23, Wozniak coached both the men and the women to fourth-place finishes at the NCAA Championships. Harvard qualified a total of 14 fencers, seven men and seven women. Wozniak led both Lauren Scruggs and Jonas Hansen to individual national championship titles. She also helped the Crimson men win their 12th Ivy League Championship, where she coached Filip Dolegiewicz and James Chen to individual Ivy League titles. Five crimson fencers received first-team All-Ivy selections and three received second-team All-Ivy selections. With the aid of Wozniak, the men wrapped up a very successful season with a 23-2 record and the women posted a 19-9 record.

Wozniak graduated from St. John’s University in 2013 and enjoyed a very successful career in her time with the Red Storm.

She earned All-America honors four times and finished third at the NCAA Championships twice. She spent 17 years on the U.S. National Team and is a three-time U.S. Olympian (London 2012, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2021), winning the bronze medal in 2016.
 
Wozniak was an individual Pan-Am champion as well as a team champion. She earned multiple World Cup medals and was a two-time member of a world champion fencing team.

Wozniak brings to the Crimson 17 years of experience working with younger athletes in leadership positions.
