Fifty-nine SoCal fencers fought their way to the top at this year’s Summer Nationals Qualifier in Calabasas on Saturday to earn the right to compete in the 2023 Summer Nationals to be held later this year. Fencers qualified by finishing in the top 25% in their events (Veterans qualified regardless of results).
The Summer Nationals (technically known as the National Championships & July Challenge) are held annually in various cities across the country where more than 4,000 fencers vie for medals and titles in dozens of events, making it the world’s largest fencing tournament. This year’s competition will be held in Phoenix, Arizona from June 30 to July 9, 2023.
Congratulations to all of our qualified fencers and good luck in Phoenix!
