East Bay Fencers Gym had a great showing at this year’s summer nationals in Salt Lake City, including Keith Lichten who became the 2017 National Champion in Vet 40 Men’s Epee! But Keith was not the only East Bay Fencer with visit to the podium, Kristin Lynch who finished 7th in Vet-40 Women’s Epee and Solomon Weingarten who finished 5th in Vet-60 Men’s Epee. Congratulations to all EBFG fencers who trained hard for this year’s nationals. What a great ending to an incredible 2016-17 season.
