 Congratulations

on another successful season. It was great to see such a strong work ethic from all the kids during our pre-nationals camp, and we were very excited with the size of our competitive group as well as the results we achieved at Summer Nationals. We'd like to take the time to recognize those athletes who either made quarterfinals or achieved national points out in Phoenix:

3rd - Senior MS Team - Leo Feng, Matthew Chin, Landon Su, Will Fenker

7th - Senior WS Team - Siwen Liao, Sharon Ni, Emily Xu

7th - Division 1A MS - Leo Feng

8th - Division 2 WS - Emily Xu

9th - Y14 MS - Landon Su

18th - Junior MS - Leo Feng

27th - Y12 WS - Alexandria Fan

43rd - Cadet WS - Emily Xu

59th - Y14 WS - Alexandria Fan

63rd - Y12 MS - Brendan Feng

In addition, the week was filled with strong performances across the entire spectrum; everyone from our club won bouts in their events and we had numerous additional top-half-of-the-field performances. We are a small club in a small city; the odds will always be somewhat stacked against us, but together we can compete and win at this level. This event was a good step in the right direction (We love that we get to add three photos to our national medalist wall!!), but we know it is just a step and we have further to go. We would also like to thank the parents for their continued support!
