Samuel Sugiura

Secaucus, NJ (Nov 24-26, 2023) — The future is looking bright for the Tim Morehouse Fencing Club.

The youngest fencers made their marks at the Cobra Challenge SYC/RYC/Y-8 at the Meadowlands Expo Center.

Ethan Kim took a silver medal in Y-14 Men’s Saber.

In Y-8 Men’s Saber, Arthur Gimbrere won bronze as did William Lucas in Y-12 Men’s Saber. Zihou Dai also medaled in Y-12 Men’s Saber, taking sixth place.

Zoe Morehouse earned fifth place in Y-8 Women’s Saber, while her slightly older teammates, Emma Fadel and Anna Willer won seventh place and eighth place, respectively, in Y-10 Women’s Saber.

Finally, Samuel Sugiura made it onto the medal stand in Cadet Men’s Saber, taking eighth place.

There were so many top-16 and top-32 finishes for the Tim Morehouse fencers. In fact, many narrowly missed the medal stand.

Congratulations fencers, coaches and parents.
