Newbie, Anna SCHIKORE, entered the national arena in the Cadet event, finishing 128th out of 182 athletes from across the country. After barely making the pool cut she upset a higher ranked fencer in a tactically fierce bout, winning 15-14.
Kevin Zhou and Skyler Hoffman are forging the path for our developing men’s team. Zhou finished 159th and Hoffman 147th in a field of 239 fencers for Cadets, both lost 14-15 in exciting and close bouts in the first round of the direct elimination. Hoffman was the lone fencer for the Junior men’s event, finishing 223rd out of 265 fencers after a tough pool round.
Congratulations team on an outstanding Cadet and Junior season! We look forward to building and expanding our team next season and thank our fans for their cheering at club, the tournaments and online.
