This past weekend, Brooklyn Bridge Fencing athletes were in action across multiple events - from a national event in Ohio to competitive local tournaments here in New York. It was a weekend filled with strong finishes, new milestones, and great momentum for our fencers.
At the February North American Cup (NAC) in Cincinnati, Ohio, Michael Green delivered an excellent performance in Veteran 40 Men’s Foil, finishing 8th in a highly competitive national field. Competing at this level requires consistency and resilience, and Michael showed both throughout the event.
Back in Queens at the Heatbreaker Open, Ezra Bradford-Watt fenced his way to a 6th place finish in Senior Mixed Foil, earning his E26 rating along the way - a well-deserved achievement and an exciting step forward in his competitive journey.
Our youth fencers also had a fantastic showing at the Fencer’s Club Youth Foil event in Manhattan. In Y8 Mixed Foil, Eva Shang earned a strong 2nd place finish, with Dean Chiang close behind in 5th place In Y12 Men’s Foil, Alex Lin fenced his way onto the podium with a 3rd place result, while Max Bleich finished 8th in Y14 Men’s Foil, continuing to build valuable competitive experience.
Congratulations to all of our fencers for representing Brooklyn Bridge Fencing with determination and sportsmanship. Every tournament is another step forward, and it’s exciting to see the progress happening across all age groups. We’re looking forward to carrying this momentum into the weeks ahead!
