Minneapolis, MN (July 3, 2022) — Action is heating up for both foil and saber fencers at Summer Nationals.

Seth Edelman, who will be fencing for Brandeis this fall, cracked the top-64, coming in 41st. Matthew Kim, Gabriel McCarthy and Matthew Fields all finished in the 80s after fencing hard through pools and elimination rounds.
