Congratulations to all SCFC foil fencers who competed at the 2021 Summer National Fencing Championships in Philadelphia earlier this month!! SCFC fencers brought back some shiny new hardware!!

Chris Balestracci competed in multiple events and had many strong results. Chris first competed in the Veteran 50 Men’s Foil event. After placing 12th out of pools, Chris worked hard to win his first two DEs including toppling the 5th seed 9-8 before falling to the eventual silver medalist in the round of 8. Chris ended up finishing 8th and earning valuable national points towards his goal of earning a spot on the Veteran National Team!! Well done and congratulations Chris!!

Chris also competed in the Veteran Team Men’s Foil event where he and his team earned the bronze medal!! Way to go!!

Coach Holmes first competed in the Division 1 Men’s foil event. After a strong showing in pools, he won his first DE before falling in the round of 64. His finish earned him some additional Division 1 national points.

The following day, Coach Holmes teamed up with his brother Andrew Holmes, Tomas Koeck, and friend of SCFC Dave Galler to a successful day in the Senior Team Men’s Foil event while representing Mission Fencing Center and Brooklyn Bridge Fencing Center. Each and every teammate contributed significantly to the success of the team leading to a 3rd place finish out of 22 teams. The foursome earned the bronze medal in a tightly contested and hard fought bronze medal match. Congrats guys!!

Catherine also had a strong showing while competing in the Cadet Women’s Foil and Y-14 Women’s Foil events. Not only did she show that she deserves to be there competing against some of the strongest women’s foil fencers in the country, but that she can also achieve success at that level. Her success was highlighted by her T37 finish out of 128 in the Y-14 Women’s Foil Event!! Congratulations Catherine!!

We are thrilled with the results and are looking forward to another season of hard work and success. We look forward to seeing even more SCFC fencers out there next year!!
