Seth Edelman, Gabriel McCarthy and Matthew Fields

Minneapolis, MN (July 2, 2022) — USA Fencing Summer Nationals is underway and Tim Morehouse Fencing Club started off strong.

Division I Women’s Foil kicked off TMFC action with fencers Sabrina Fang and Alina Zhang coming out of pools in the middle of the pack that contained NCAA champs and Olympians. Fang ultimately made the top 64 (61T) with Zhang coming in 78th.

Action in Junior Men’s Saber came fast with the fencers coming out of pools strong — Shaun Kim went six for six, Robert Wang and Seth Edelman went four for six and Matthew Kim and Matthew Fields went three for six. The direct eliminations were more challenging.

Ultimately, Wang made the top 32 (26), Gabriel McCarthy made the top 64 (63) and Shaun Kim just missed the cut at 66.

Congratulations fencers, coaches and parents.
