Madison, NJ (October 2019) - TMFC Fencers headed to Drew University to compete the American Challenge ROC and RJC, a two-day tournament with 24 events in Foil, Epee, and Saber. They were accompanied by our excellent coaches Diana, Ziad, Lancelot, and Ben.

Our fencers accomplished awesome results, achieving nine medal wins altogether. Our students won two Gold Medals, one Silver Medal, four Bronze Medals, and two Top-8 Medals. TMFC Fencers have been training hard throughout the summer and fall, and it is certainly paying off.
