Please congratulate our athletes for their great results this past weekend:
Romain Cannone wins Gold at the Dallas North American Cup in Cadets. Romain competed against 141 fencers to earn his first NAC championship title. He had a hard start in pools, but confidently defeated his opponents in the DEs. After winning his bouts against Bryn Hammarberg and Morris Boratin, Romain fought Thomas Petrosewicz and won 15-14, taking revenge for his loss against Thomas at the last NAC by the same score. Romain went on to defeat Jason Xu 15-10, and Malcolm Miller 15-7. To make the finals, Romain faced his toughest opponent of the day – Dylan French, the #1 Canadian who won the last NAC. With a close score of 15-14, Romain earned his place on the gold medal strip, where he defeated Charles Horowitz 15-7.
Skyler Chin wins Gold in the Brentwood Holiday Tournament on Long Island. This is an annual invitation-only fencing tournament with over 300 fencers from 13 different high school teams across Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties, with events in all 6 weapons.
