Raymond Schorr

Big Congratulations to our fencers Raymond Schorr and Trevor Shepard for taking the GOLD this past weekend in the Summer National Qualifiers. Raymond took first place in the Cadet event and qualified for the event in the upcoming Summer Nationals, while Trevor Shepard took first in the Y-14 event. Amazing job to them both! Raymond is qualified for the Cadet and Y-14 events for Summer Nationals and Trevor Shepard is qualified for the Junior, Cadet, and Y-14 events for Summer Nationals. Good luck and keep up the good work

The fencer we have been tracking, Kevin Mo, has placed 26th out of a strong field of 142 at the Junior World Championships in Belfast.  He came out of the pools at 57th, but continued to win his next DE’s. He faced number 72 Nuno Milharadas from Portugal with a victory of 10-6 and then fought hard against the 8th seed Luca Ferraris from Italy winning 15-13. He was then subdued by the Ukranian Yaroslav Ponomarenko with a loss of 12-15, but after beating Luca Ferraris I’m sure we can forgive him. His first World Championship tournament has yielded amazing results and we hope to see him there again next year with the continued direction from his coach, Tigran Shaginian. Great job Kevin!
