Results – North American Cup Portland
A salute to our eighteen DCFC fencers who represented at the North American Cup, January 13-16, 2012 in Portland, Oregon. This mammoth event featured more than 1,000 fencers competing in all three weapons in the Division 1 and Under 20 categories. This tournament is a selection event for both squads that will compete at the 2012 London Olympic Games as well as the teams that will compete at the Junior and Cadet World Championships in Moscow in April.
There were several strong finishes, with DCFC fencers advancing to the top 64, 32, 16 and 8 in various events.
Michael Josephs, #7, Junior Men’s Sabre
Kat Holmes, #6, Junior Women’s Epee

Kudos also to Kat Holmes for earning her best international finish in a U20 event with her fifth-place result at the Laupheim Junior Epee World Cup in Germany in December 2011.
