Forge has 28 fencers competing in 61 events (individual and team) in all three weapons (foil, epee, and saber) at the 2024 USA Fencing Summer National Championships and July Challenge, June 29th-July 8th in Columbus, OH.

14 Forge athletes traveled to National Harbor, Maryland over the weekend to compete in what is billed as the “World’s Largest Youth Fencing Tournament.” This was the 14th iteration of this perennial event, and the Forge Team trekked up to compete in youth foil, epeé, and saber, and in regional cadet events for epeé and saber.
Ten members of Forge Fencing are headed for Minneapolis to compete in USA Fencing’s annual National Championships, the largest fencing tournament in the world. The team has been working hard all season to prepare for this event. Our fencers have been training in Forge’s new facility for the past five months and have been making good use of the space. Here is a highlight of some of our team members who will be competing:
From July 3-12, Mid-South Fencers’ Club had 8 fencers representing our club at the 2021 National Fencing Championships, Jr. Olympics & North American Cup in Philadelphia, PA. After a difficult season with inconsistent training and minimal competition opportunities, our athletes certainly gave it their best shot. We are proud of their efforts and the efforts of their team back at home waiting out the pandemic.
