Gabriel McCarthy Wins Bronze at the Cherry Blossom ROC

College Park, MD (April 2-3, 2022) — Gabriel McCarthy has skills that travel.

The Tim Morehouse Fencing Club saber fencer headed south to the Cherry Blossom ROC in Maryland and showed them how it’s done, winning a bronze medal and earning his C22 rating.

Winning four out of six in his pool bouts, McCarthy was 12th after pools. He quickly worked his way through his direct eliminations, winning 15-7, 15-9 and 15-8 before finally falling to silver medalist Justin Lee.

This victory qualifies McCarthy to compete in Division IA at the Summer Nationals in Minneapolis in July.

TMFC’s Dylan Woodward also competed in this event, narrowly missing the medal stand by coming in tenth.

Congratulations fencers, coaches and parents!
