Five National Medals!

Five of Gateway's fencers have won National medals so far in 2008: in March, Alec Slavin won a medal for finishing in the top 8 at the Rosemont NAC in Division II Men's Foil. Then in April at the Portland NAC, Emerson Reed won a silver medal in Y10 Men's Sabre, followed by Mohamed Hassan, taking a medal for finishing in the top 8 in Y10 Men's Foil.

Our latest medalists are Kristen George and Peter Kalinowski, who followed up with big wins at Summer Nationals in San Jose. Kristen took an amazing 5th place in Division II Women's Foil, winning her "C" rating, and Peter rounded out Summer Nationals with a top 8 win in Division III Mens' Sabre.

Great job guys and congratulations to everyone who fenced so well at Summer Nationals!
