Phoenix, AZ (July 2, 2023) — Tim Morehouse Fencing Club dominated Cadet Men’s Saber.
Shaun Kim and Robert Wang battled it out on the final strip in the gold medal bout, with Kim emerging triumphant 15-9.
Wang’s silver medal was his second trip to the Summer Nationals medal stand.

Also in Cadet Men’s Saber, Gabriel McCarthy (36), Samuel Sugiura (42) and Ethan Kim (58) made the top-64.
In Junior Women’s Foil, Ella Calise (53T), Iris Yang (47) and Alina Zhang (35) all made the top-64.
