Another remarkable weekend for HFA fencers as they competed at the Daugherty Challenge ROC/RJCC/RYC-ST.Louis,MO. Our fencers returned with an impressive total of 7 medals, including two gold, earning valuable regional points and enhancing their ratings.
We extend our warmest congratulations to the following outstanding fencers:
Phillip Nunnink: Secured Gold in Juniors Men’s Foil and added a Bronze in Division 1A Men’s Foil to his achievements.
Hailey Cashman: Demonstrated exceptional skill with a Gold in Y10 Women’s Foil, Silver in Y12 Women’s Foil, and a Bronze in Cadet Women’s Foil. Notably, Hailey had a phenomenal tournament, receiving only 4 touches in the Y10 event, conquering challenging close bouts in the Y12 and Cadet categories, and earning an "E" 2023 national rating.
Harrison McMillian: Earned a well-deserved Bronze in Y12 Men’s Foil.
Levi Fergusson: Showed determination with a 7th place finish in Y12 Men’s Foil and one point away from top 4.

The Summer Nationals Championship in Phoenix is over. There were 10 long days with 96 events and more than 300 fencers in some of the events
This year we didn’t get medals, but I am proud of our young fencers who fought hard, won difficult bouts, got more experience and made new friends.
We are already back in the gym and start the preparation for the next competitive season.
Looking forward to the next Nationals in Columbus, OH.
