Phoenix, AZ (July 8, 2023) — Two bronze medals and a seventh-place finish? We’ll take them.
The Y-12 events were very good to the Tim Morehouse Fencing Club fencers. In Y-12 Women’s Foil, Iris Yang put her World Cup experience to good use and earned a bronze medal. The Brazilian U16 champion Marcus Pinto is also the bronze medal winner in Y-12 Men’s Saber. And Ethan Chen fought for a seventh-place finish in Y-12 Men’s Foil.
In Division II Men’s Foil, Brendan Lee (28) made the top-32 and Jackson Wang (57) made the top-64.
In Division III Women’s Saber, Sofia Schaible (20) made the top-32 and Varvara Mankova (64) Made the top-64.
