The Summer Nationals in Portland has just come to an end! Many of our fencers, from Y10 (Jaiden) all the way to Vet 70 (Coach Andy!), qualified and competed.

Congrats to Aaron, Coach Andy, Brian, Bryan, Cheryl, Chris, Christopher, Crystal, Elliott, Ephraim, Gabriel, Gloria, Harrison, Jaelynn, Jaiden, Kenneth, Kevin, Lucille, Mia, Teo, Coach Toby and Victor for their hard work and their strong efforts.

A very special congratulations to Cheryl for her 8th place finish and new C26 rating in Vet 60 Women’s Epee. Also, Gloria finished 7th place and earned her C26 in Div II Women’s Epee!! Additional kudos to Gabriel for earning Senior national points with his top 32 finish in Div I Men’s Foil, and Christopher and Mia for their top 16 finishes in Div IA Men’s Foil and Div III Women’s Foil, respectively.

A HUGE thank you to all our coaches, especially Coach Chung and Coach Kim, for their constant advice, support and encouragement!

New MTFC gear. Fresh looks. Visit the club to order yours.

Hoodies, track jackets, long sleeves, men's , women's, youth. You name it, we have it. (Except socks. We don't have those.... yet.)

This past weekend Rain City Fencing Center hosted our region’s RYC and RJCC. Several MTFC fencers competed and earned regional points to help them qualify for the upcoming Summer Nationals and the July Challenge in Portland.

Christopher, Gabriel, Gloria, Harrison, Ian, Jaelynn, Jaiden, Joe, Lucas competed in Epee and Foil events ranging in age groups from Y10 all the way to Junior!

Special congrats to Gabriel who won GOLD in Junior Men’s Foil and renewed his A26!! Also congratulations to Christopher on his BRONZE in Junior Men’s Foil.

We hosted an MTFC members only team tournament last Sunday at the club. Of the seven fencers, none had done a team tournament so this casual tournament was a great learning experience.

Everybody won a prize! Here are some with their potatoes, chips, candy bars, and oranges.

Who is excited for more fun, casual tournaments?

This past weekend, SAS hosted an RYC for the youth fencers in our region. Several MTFC fencers participated and all earned regional points! Great job to Dylan, Zachary, Lucas, William in foil, and Gloria and Ian in epee!! Special congrats to Gloria for her 6th place finish on Y14 Women’s Epee!

Our friends at Rain City Fencing Center (RCFC) in Bellevue just posted their Super Youth Circuit (SYC) event to be held April 17-20. This is a national points event which is only one level down from the North American Cup (NAC) national tournaments. If you are competing more regularly and want a chance to fence some of the best fencers around the country, be sure to sign up early as there is a cap on the number of fencers who can compete.
