July Challenge, Day 2: Cadet MF, Junior MS

Salt Lake City, UT (July 23, 2021) - Day two was a day for the men.

Unfortunately, they came up short when it came to top finishes, but there were some solid performances.

In Junior men’s saber, Henry Nadile came out of pools tied for first place but was thwarted in DEs just missing a place in the top 16. Nicka Lortkipandze followed suit, finishing at 19. The pool of TMFC fencers in this event alone — 10 competed — promises future results.

In Cadet men’s foil, Nickolas Rusadze put in a decent performance to reach the top half of a strong field of contenders.

Good fencing gentlemen.
