The Cadet (Under-17) season opened with a bang for USA Fencing at a Cadet International Cup in Konin, Poland this past weekend as John Hallsten (Sacramento, Calif./Hristov-Csikany Fencers) brought home the gold and two more U.S. Cadets reached the top eight in stiff international competition.

Hallsten squeaked by Balint Kossuth of Hungary 15-13 in the quarterfinals and then beat Andrey Korobko of Russia in the semifinals. He sealed the gold with a resounding victory over Alexander Trushakov of Russia 15-7. USA Fencing teammate Eli Dershwitz (Dover, Mass./Zeta Fencing) fell to Korobko in the quarterfinals, losing 15-10.

On the women’s side, 2010 World Cadet Team member Skyla Powers (Decatur, Ga./Nellya) reached the quarterfinals before being narrowly defeated by Angelika Wator of Poland 15-13.

About USA Fencing: USA Fencing is the recognized NGB for the sport of fencing in the United States. USA Fencing changed its name from the U.S. Fencing Association in July, 2010. The USFA was founded in 1891 as the Amateur Fencers League of America (AFLA) by a group of New York fencers seeking independence from the Amateur Athletic Union. The AFLA changed its name to the United States Fencing Association in 1981. The USFA is affiliated with the Féderation Internationale d'Escrime (FIE), the international federation for fencing founded in Paris in 1913. The USFA was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in Pennsylvania in 1964 and in Colorado in 1993 in compliance with the Amateur Sports Act and opened its national office at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. in August of 1982.
