Eight to Rosemont

Eight fencers from the Des Moines Fencing Club will fence in the North America Cup tournament in Rosemont, Illinois, from March 7-10, 2008. This is double our previous best for a NAC.

Granted the location has a lot to do with so many of us going. It still shows how far we've come as a club.

The Iowa Division is sending fourteen fencers in all, which has to be a record for the division.
