Fencing on the youth circuit

Youth fencers from Alliance Fencing Academy (pictured) competed at a Super Youth Circuit in Round Rock. This was the second national competition of the season, and fencers earned national points to qualify for summer nationals. Several boys finished in the top 8 and won a medal. Fencers in the Youth 10 category typically train for 6 or 7 hours each week, including both private sessions and group classes. The dedicated competitors are (back row, from left) Alex Sennewald, Aidan Takeda, Max Skubicz, Sergei Kudriatcev, Om Joshi, Sawyer Pham; (front row, from left) James Sennewald, Elijah Imrek, Luca Bisono, Lyle Lundberg and Dylan Chin.
