A number of athletes from Cutting Edge Fencing narrowly missed medals this past weekend at the 2014 Canadian National Championships in Toronto. Danielle Burghgraef was one win short of the medals in both cadet and junior women’s sabre, finishing 8th in both events. Zaq Quinsey was undefeated until the quarterfinals of the U-15 men’s épée event, where he finished 5th. Michael Mussari also came up just short, finishing 7th in Junior men’s épée and 10th in cadet after losing a tough match by a score of 15-14.
Three members of Cutting Edge Fencing came home with bronze medals from the 2015 Vango Open in Markham last weekend. Dashel Hutson upset the #1 ranked fencer in the quarterfinals to win bronze in Y12 men’s epee. Matthias Leuprecht went into the direct elimination round having only lost once in pools and earned a bronze after losing to eventual gold medallist William Kinney in the semi-finals of senior men’s sabre. Danielle Burghgraef came way with a bronze medal in senior women’s sabre after losing a close match in the semi-finals. DJ Holtz just missed a medal in Y14 men’s epee after a very close loss in the quarterfinals by a score of 15-14, while Deserae Ball also had a very close match in Y14 women’s epee, losing 15-13.
