Andrew Iford Competes at Summer Nationals

Quick Congrats to Andrew Iford
Andrew Iford traveled to Phoenix, AZ for the USA Fencing Championships. Andrew competed in the Division II Men’s Epee event. He won 2 out 6 bouts in his pool, seeded 159 after pools and made the cut off for advancement to elimination rounds (only 80% advancement), lost 6-15 to the 98th seed in his first elimination. He placed 163rd out of 217. Glad there was All-American Fencing representation at the USA Fencing Championships!
