LFCs Arnold Fencing Classic Results

To begin want to thank the  coaches who supported the fencers on the strip by guiding them through their bouts.  We also want to thank the parents who made the sacrifice to get the fencers to this event, encouraged their young fencers and supported them through the competition.  Finally, a great round of applause to all of these athletes who performed this weekend, showcasing the talent of the Louisville Fencing Center!  The following fencers represented themselves and the Louisville Fencing Center well:

Junior Mens Epee

On Friday, MATTHEW KENT finished 15th and MASON HUGHES finished 23.  This is always one of the most aggressive and challenging groups of fencers and both young men held their own.  Continue the hard work, Gentlemen.

Division II Men’s Epee (C and Under)

Dwain Kent captured the Bronze (3rd place) DIRK MARTIN finished 16th, MATTHEW KENT finished 26th and MASON HUGHES finished 36th.  While all fencers identified areas where they want to focus on improvement in the future, it was just as easy to observe where their skills and techniques are coming together.  We look forward to them pushing each other harder. Well done!!!

Cadet Men’s Foil  and Y-12 Men’s Foil

Finishing in the top 16 in their respective events, JAN BIESIADA finished 13th out of 18th in Cadet Men’s Foil and MASEO TAMIYA, finished 13th out of 34 in Y-10 Men’s Foil!  This is a solid performance from both and we look forward to more great fencing from them in the future!

Out of field of 57 competitors DWAIN KENT finished 14th, DIRK MARTIN finished 52nd and MATTHEW KENT finished 53rd. 

Y-14 Mixed Foil
