Six Top-8 Finishes for TMFC at the October NAC
ORLANDO, Fla. — Tim Morehouse Fencing Club recorded six Top-8 finishes at the October North American Cup, held October 9–12, 2026, in Orlando, Florida. Five individual medal performances and a Cadet Women’s Foil team silver led a weekend that saw 42 TMFC fencers compete across saber, foil and épée. The club’s recap includes 71 individual results and two team placements, with strong performances in Elite, Challenger and Y14 competition.
Grace Feng, Charlotte Choi and Marcel Ursu each earned fifth-place finishes, while Kai Toomre placed sixth and Isaac Yook finished seventh. Amabel Wang earned team silver with Wangs Upon A Time alongside Dina C. Wang and Carol Wang.
The weekend gave TMFC’s fencing community in Manhattan, Westchester and Connecticut plenty to celebrate, from medal-round performances to strong runs across all three weapons. Congratulations to every athlete who competed, and thank you to the coaches, families and teammates who supported them.
