Santa Claus Was Good To The TMFC Foil Fencers

Valley Forge, PA (Dec 18 -19, 2021) — There was no coal for the Tim Morehouse fencers.

Competitors crossing the Delaware to Valley Forge for the Santa Claus RYC/RJCC were rewarded for their hard work.

It was the younger foil fencers who were richly rewarded. In both Y-10 and Y-12 Men’s Foil, TMFC fencers dominated the medal stand with Michael Grigoriev taking gold, Kai Toomre taking bronze, Ancen Wang in seventh and Hauchen Yu in eighth in Y-10. The Y-12 event saw similar results with William Gerrish taking silver, Ethan Chen with bronze, Kai Toomre in fifth place.

The women foilists were also successful in the Y-10/Y-12 Women’s Foil combo. In Y-12 Women’s Foil, Amabel Wang took bronze, with teammates Savannah Li and Yunong Lin coming in fifth and sixth respectively. In Y-12 Women’s Foil, Li and Wang switched places, coming in fifth and sixth.

Saber fencer Gabriel McCarthy had a double medal weekend, winning silver in Junior Men’s Saber and eighth in Cadet Men’s Saber.

Charlotte Choi won her first medal as a member of Tim Morehouse Fencing Club, earning seventh place in Y-10 Women’s Saber.

It was a ho-ho-ho happy start to the holiday season — congratulations fencers!
