28 attempts. Never won. Until today. 🥇 The U.S. Junior Men's Epee Team claimed its first-ever world title in Rio, rallying from down 6 touches to defeat Israel 45-39 in the final. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

Yesterday she competed in Junior Women's Epee. Today she reached the Cadet Women's Epee final and won silver. 🥈 Natalya Cafasso is having a tournament to remember. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

In 70 years of Junior Men's Epee at the World Championships, only one American — Graham Wicas in 2007 — had ever won a silver medal. Until today. 🥈 Nathaniel Wimmer, Rio de Janeiro, 2026. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

Nobody picked them. They didn't care. 🥇 The ninth-seeded U.S. Junior Men's Foil team just defeated four of the world's top eight programs to claim gold in Rio. Peter Bruk, Roy Graham, Castor Kao and Luao Yang are your 2026 world champions. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

7. That's how many world championship titles Jaelyn Liu has — including two this week alone in Rio. She just made history as the first fencer ever to win both Cadet and Junior gold at two different world championships. 🥇 usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

Nine of the last 12. Six of the last seven. 🥇 Jaelyn Liu just added another Junior Women's Foil world title to Team USA's remarkable run in the event — her second straight. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

"The faces have changed each year, but one thing has stayed the same — our determination." 🥇 Will Morrill, Emilio Gonzalez, Silas Choi and Shaun Kim are your 2026 Junior Men's Saber World Champions — and Team USA's fourth straight gold medal team. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

Morrill. Gonzalez. Tse. 🥇 Team USA has won Cadet Men's Saber gold at three of the last four Junior & Cadet World Championships — and Aiden Tse just added his name to that list in Rio. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

With a silver in Rio, Will Morrill caps an epic two-week run that saw him win bronze at NCAAs and gold at the senior FIE World Cup in Budapest. usafencing.org/news/2026/apri…

Notre Dame followed its women’s title with a men’s crown on Sunday, while Youssef Shamel (North Carolina, epee), Sam Kumbla (Columbia, foil) and Ahmed Hesham (Notre Dame, saber) took home individual honors. usafencing.org/news/2026/marc…

Notre Dame outscored Columbia, 102-99, in South Bend to win the inaugural women's three-weapon NCAA championship, while Eszter Muhari, Jessica Guo and Natalia Botello gave the event an unmistakably international set of individual champions. usafencing.org/news/2026/marc…

College fencing made you who you are. Now help us build the network. USA Fencing is launching a college fencing alumni database, and we want to hear from everyone who has ever fenced in college. Where did you fence? What weapon? And where are you now? usafencing.org/news/2026/marc…
