We wanted to share some exciting news regarding our fencers.
Two of the best fencers in the Cadet (under 17) age category in the US are at Apex Fencing Academy. They have done extremely well in national competitions and reached the top 10 on the US national points list. Aiden Click is a 15-year-old Epee fencer, he has been fencing for 3 years and is currently ranked 3rd in Epee in the US. Mitch Huth is a 16-year-old Foil fencer, he has been fencing for 7 years and is currently ranked 9th in Foil in the US.
