Minneapolis, MN (July 5, 2022) — It was a day of firsts for several Tim Morehouse Fencing Club fencers.

TMFC fielded its first Veteran épée fencer, Joanne Gerrish, in the Vet-50 Women’s event. She has been training at Tim Morehouse Chelsea Piers in Stamford, Ct, and made a solid debut.

After a year of preparation and practice, both Marcus Singer and Alexander “Lex” Francois made their Summer Nationals debuts in Cadet Men’s Saber.

Also in Cadet Men’s Saber, Shaun Kim and Robert Wang made the top-16, Kim at 13th and Wang in 14th.

Leanne Singleton-Comfort made the top-32 in Division I Women’s Saber, taking the 30th spot.
