Metuchen, NJ (April 9-10, 2022) — It was a great weekend to be a young fencer!
The youngest fencers from Tim Morehouse Fencing Club earned the most medals this weekend at the Garden State RYC at the Sportsplex in Metuchen, NJ.
Starting with the Y-10 fencers, Amabel Wang won gold in Women’s Foil, while teammate Savannah Li took seventh. Veronika Gonzalez also took gold, in Women’s Saber. On the men’s side, Timothy Chang took bronze in Men’s Saber while teammate Elijah Roper took fifth. Michael Grigoriev and Hauchen Yu rounded it out in Men’s Foil, coming in seventh and eighth respectively.
In Y-12 Men’s Saber, TMFC fielded an enormous team of 13 fencers and rounded out the top-eight with Aram Clark in sixth place, Connor Chung in seventh place and Miles Pinto in eighth place. Pompie Yannopoulos earned sixth place in Y-12 Women’s Saber.
Brendan Lee won silver in Y-14 Men’s Foil and Ethan Chen joined the medal stand at fifth. Alexander Francois earned bronze in Y-14 Men’s Saber and was joined by teammates Enzo Bera at sixth and Gabriel Clark at eighth.
The Garden State marked the passing of a baton of sorts with both TMFC international fencers Shaun Kim and Gabriel McCarthy joining the staff as strip coaches for the weekend.
“I love to see our fencers growing up and taking leadership roles in the club,” said Tim Morehouse. "TMFC Community at work!”
“It was Timmy’s first time having Gabriel McCarthy and Shaun Kim help coach,” said Tina Chang, mom to Y-10 Men’s Saber bronze medalist Timothy Chang. “It was so nice to have them there as role models for the younger boys. Timmy learned a lot from Gabriel!”
Congratulations fencers, parents, and coaches.
