2004 Linkmeyer Invitational |
||||||||
 |
||||||||
| This year's USC-Linkmeyer Invitational Tournament was a great success, as over 150 fencers converged on the USC campus for the Open Foil, Epee and Sabre competitions on January 31st. First places went to Cedric Anen in Foil, Gershom Gannon-O'Gara in Epee, and Alfred Lara in Sabre. Several USC Fencers competed in the tournament as well. We were very pleased to have Mr. Dan Linkmeyer in attendance, son of Epee Champion and USC Fencing Alum, Fred Linkmeyer. The final word on the tournament: Hope to see you all next year.
