This Memorial Day weekend three fencers from NFC competed in the 2007 Hutchinson Open at the Chicago Athletic Club. Jeff Champas placed 13th at his first tournament back from a 2+ year hiatus from competitive fencing, John Scanlon took 3rd place, and Andre Fabrosilio took 2nd place earning him a C07 rating. Please help me in congratulating Andre and Jeff on their excellent performances at this tournament.
Good work guys!
