5 Medals come home to Oregon from the Saratoga Springs, NY Youth National Circuit event held on January 4-6.  OFA fencers proudly brought home 2 GOLDS and 1 Silver as well as fencers in the finals at  6th and 8th places. Becca Ward took the Gold in the Y12 Sabre easily dominating the field of fencers. Caity Thompson just as easily won her Gold in the Y14 women's sabre. Becca again showed her up and coming strength in the weapon by taking second to Caity in this event. Our other finalists were in the men's Y12 where Calvin Starhorn-Brown placed 6th and Bobby Thompson finished 8th. Congratulations fencers!
