DCFC sends our heartiest well wishes to Diane Trice, Jim Adams, and Peter Calderon, who are among the more than 50 vet fencers representing Team USA at the 2014 Veteran Fencing World Championships in Debrecen, Hungary on October 21-26.This is Diane’s first Vet Worlds, and she will be competing in the Vet 50 Women’s Epee event.

Jim Adams has represented Team USA 14 times, and has medaled four times in both foil and epee. He will compete in both the epee and foil events in the Vet 70 age category.

The Veteran’s World Championship is conducted by the International Fencing Federation. Competitors have included Olympic and Senior World Champion gold medalists. Trice, Adams, and other Team USA members were selected based on their best two out of three results from the 2013-2014 season.

DC Fencers Club is home to many world-class veteran fencers. Kaz Campe made history as the first American male to win a world champion title when he won the Veteran Men’s 60+ Epee event at the 1998 Veteran Worlds in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In her second trip to Vet Worlds in 2012, Valerie Asher won bronze in Vet 50 Women’s Epee. Lisa Dobloug won the World Champion title representing Norway in Vet 60 Women’s Epee in 2005.

Best wishes to Diane, Jim, and all our Team USA members!  Follow results on the host website.
