This year's USC Linkmeyer Invitational Tournament saw 190 fencers from as far away as Arizona and Nevada (and even guests from Oregon and the Capitol Division) fence in the Open Epee, Foil, Sabre and Women's Epee competitions on March 4th, 2006. First places went to Jesse Carlson in Epee, Isaac Kim in Foil, Paul Hicha in Sabre and USC's very own Rebecca Van Guilder in Women's Epee, earning her C06. For more results, click here
