Cutting Edge Fencing Head Coach David Howes and women’s epee fencer Leonora MacKinnon recently represented Canada at the 2015 Pan-American Games in Toronto. Howes is the national coach for the women’s epee team and MacKinnon competed in both the individual and team events at the Games. MacKinnon had a slow start in the first round, but recovered to qualify for the direct elimination rounds. She fenced well, but came up just short, losing 14-12 to the eventual gold medallist from the USA. The women’s epee team had a tough quarterfinal opponent in Cuba and lost their first match. They recovered nicely to win their last two matches against Columbia and the Dominican Republic to finish the day in 5th place.
