GOLD FOR KOKO EDGAR 🥇 AND EARNS HER "C" RATING

Edgar Koko had a weekend to remember in Libertyville.

In Y14 Women’s Epee, Edgar went 4-1 in pools. Despite a strong pool performance, she didn’t receive a bye — but that didn’t slow her down. She dominated the DEs:

15-3 in her first DE
15-7 in her second
15-6 in her third
Semifinal: 15-6 win over Negrut
Final: 11-11 win vs. CAI to take GOLD 🏆

That final was all heart. 11-11 in overtime, and Koko came out on top to earn her C rating.

Also Competing: Junior & Cadet – 2 and 1 Age Groups Up

Koko challenged herself against older fencers and showed huge growth.

Junior Women’s Epee: 4-6 in pools. Finished 19th after a close 13-15 DE defeat to reach the top 16.
Cadet Women’s Epee: 4-5 in pools. Finished 11th after a tight 12-15 DE defeat to reach the top 8 against the girl who took silver.

Congrats Koko! This C rating is just the beginning

In Y12 Women’s Epee, first-year Y12 Lillibelle Briones got her baptism of fire at her first Y12 Regional. She gained valuable experience and finished 14th; great start to her Y12 journey.

PA2FA Takes Gold + Bronze at The Duelist Senior Mixed Foil, August 29, 2026

PA2FA came out swinging at The Duelist with Gold for Tommy Ashida and a Bronze for first-year Cadet Alex Lu!

We entered 21 fencers: 6 women and 15 men: 4 Seniors, 4 Juniors, 6 Cadets, and 7 Y14.

Pools
Tommy, Alex, and Ian K dominated pools and won all their bouts. Ian L, Hansika, Parker, and Seerat dropped just one bout each. The rest of our squad had either 2 or more losses, but every PA2FA fencer advanced to DEs.

DEs
Top pool performers earned byes into round 2. Several of our fencers faced each other in the first DE, which narrowed the field. We had 15 fencers in the top 32, and 8 into the top 16: Natalie, Ian L, Parker, Ian K, Alex, Seerat, Hansika, and Tommy

Top 16 highlights:
Y14 Natalie fell to Zheng, who went on to take Silver
Ian L lost to Kue
Y14 Seerat was edged out by teammate Cadet Alex, who won bronze
Hansika lost a tough bout to Edwards
Tommy beat Brougam
Parker beat Coach Ian K, then lost to Joseph in the top 8

Finals
In the semis, Ashida defeated Cadet Alex in a tight bout. Tommy then capped the day by defeating Zheng in the finals to win Gold. Alex took Bronze.

A special shoutout to the PA2FA women who made the top 16 including Junior Aadhi, Y14 Dhaliwal and Y14 Huang; with Cadet Parker leading the pack by placing 8th
