Minneapolis, MN (July 9, 2022) — Hitting new heights and learning important lessons, the young Tim Morehouse team had a great day.

Nicholas Rusadze led the day in Y-14 Men’s Foil. He came out of pools in first place, but his direct elimination rounds proved more challenging. He just missed the medal stand at ninth place. Teammate Jonah Lee made the top-32, finishing at 23T and brother Brendan Lee made the top-64, coming in at 40.

In Y-14 Women’s Saber, Brynnley McKee just missed the top-16, coming in tied at 18th place. Teammate Coco Guven just missed the top-64 in at 68th place.

In a true testament to their stamina and tenacity, both Gabriel McCarthy and Matthew Fields competed in their fifth event of the week, Division II Men’s Saber. Fields cracked the top-64, coming in at 61 and McCarthy was just behind at 79th place.

Congratulations fencers, coaches and parents.
