Salt Lake City, UT (July 24, 2021) — Day three proved to be challenging for Tim Morehouse Fencing Club fencers in all weapons.

In Junior women’s foil, Alina Zhang emerged from pools with five wins, as did Sabrina Fang. Catherine Flanagan followed with three wins. Unfortunately, the Tim Morehouse fencers were shut out of the top positions.

In Cadet women’s saber, Amanda Li had a stellar performance in pools, tying for first place overall with six wins. Chelsea Delsoin followed with four wins. Again, the direct elimination matchups proved more challenging and TMFC fencers came out wanting.
