Congratulations SFO Athletes

Congratulations to all our fencers for an amazing season full of improvement and excellence as people. EVERY member of the club was an all star. Each person succeeds publicly and struggles privately, often only known to a few and we need to recognize how amazing just showing up can be at times.

A huge Thank You for the families/friends who celebrated our athletes yesterday and who showed their support to our community as well as their own athlete. Especially as we said farewell to Joshua Kim who is returning to Korea and our uni bound grads: Gordon Ye and Blake Degroot. Every year we graduate athletes to life but this year we are losing three really key people in our community who have been keystones in everyone's success and models of what fencers should be (and sometimes not, but that is youth).

Here are our awards this year:

Overall Club Champion 2024: Blake Degroot
