Suffern, NY (Feb 5-6, 2022) — Mid-season regional action warmed up over the weekend at the Winter Thrust RYC/RJCC.

Taking place at Rockland Community College in Suffern, events were waged in all three weapons. The foil fencers from Tim Morehouse Fencing Club were in fine form.

Kai Toomre won another bronze medal for Y-10 Men’s Foil (he’s on quite a streak). Grace Feng took bronze in Y-10 Women’s Foil and seventh in Y-12. Jackson Wong also earned bronze in Y-14 Men’s Foil. Iris Yang brought home silver and bronze in Cadet and Y-14 Women’s Foil respectively. She was joined on the Y-14 medal stand by teammates Catherine Zhou in sixth place and Zizi Dai in seventh. William Gerrish fought through a hip injury to earn sixth place in Y-12 Men’s Foil with tenacity.

For the first time, there were épée fencers competing from TMFC Chelsea Piers in Stamford, CT. Welcome to the team.

Congratulations to all the fencers!
