DCFC Medals at the Kickoff Classic!

Congratulations to all our fencers for getting in the game at the 2014 Kickoff Open, which took place Sept. 13-14, 2014 at the Fredericksburg Expo Center in Fredericksburg, VA.

The Kickoff was hosted by the Virginia Division and is the first Regional Open Circuit (ROC) in the area. We saw strong fencing at this ROC, one of several around the country that are designed to offer competitive opportunities that are bigger than local tournaments, and a solid training opportunity for national, North American Cup events.

 

A special kudos to the following DCFC fencers for bringing home medals.

Dennis Kraft, gold, Division 1A Senior Men’s Epee

Peter Souders, gold, Senior Men’s Sabre

Brooke Sirico, bronze, Senior Women’s Epee

Rebecca Chimahusky, fifth place, Senior Women’s Epee

Samuel Cohen, fifth place, C and Under Senior Men’s Sabre

Isaac Shelanski, sixth place, Division 1A Senior Men’s Epee

Kashi Way, sixth place, Division 1A Senior Men’s Epee
