2026 Summer Nationals – HFA Girls in Action! 🤺
Congratulations to our HFA fencers on their good performances at the 2026 Summer Nationals!
🌟 Naomi Savioz had a fantastic start, dominating her Y12 Women's Foil pool and just narrowly missing the Top 64, finishing 67th out of 225. An incredible effort—well done, Naomi!

🌟 Hannah Wang competed in Y10 Women's Foil at her very first National Championships. She won her first direct elimination bout before falling to the eventual champion. What a great debut and a valuable experience!

We're so proud of both athletes. Keep up the great work!

2026 Summer Nationals! ☀️🤺
So many days, so many bouts, and so many emotions. We're proud to see our young fencers competing with determination, growing with every match, and continuing to move forward.
It's impossible to capture every victory and memorable moment, but here are a few highlights.
Today, we'd like to recognize Harrison McMillian for an outstanding performance in the Y14 Men's Foil event. Harrison finished 59th out of 326 competitors, coming incredibly close to breaking into the Top 32. A strong result against a very competitive field!
We still have two more days and several more events ahead. Keep cheering on our athletes as they continue to give it their all. Go team! 💪🤺 💪🏻
