Suffern, NY (Feb 5-6, 2022) — It was a tournament of firsts for the Tim Morehouse Fencing Club.
Eight of the nine young women registered for the Y-10 Women’s Saber event were making their debut at the regional competition level. The ninth fencer, Veronika Gonzalez, took seventh in the event.
Said Tim Morehouse: “This weekend we fielding the largest group of Youth-10 girls in our club’s history. I couldn’t be more excited to see this group taking its first steps into regional competition.”
TMFC fielded 11 fencers for the Y-10 Men’s Saber event, taking three medals including Miles Chambers with gold, Zihou Dai with silver and fencing in his first regional competition ever, Aidan Song in seventh place.
Men’s Saber in the Y-12 event was also loaded with TMFC fencers — 13 in all — with Aram Clark landing on the medal stand in eighth place.
Brynnley McKee took bronze in Junior Women’s Saber and earned her B22. Hers is a meteoric rise — she’s only 13 and this was her third rating upgrade in as many weeks.
“I couldn’t be more proud of her result,” said Morehouse. “It comes from lots of dedication, hard work and being fully committed to what we are doing at the club.”
Making his debut as a strip coach, Y-14/Cadet/Junior men’s fencer Shaun Kim was on hand to encourage his younger teammates. His presence reinforces the TMFC commitment to support fencers who are just starting to compete.
Congratulations fencers!
