SAMOHI STUDENT WINS SILVER AND GOLD IN 2024 PAN AMERICAN FENCING CHAMPIONSHIP

In February, Alexander Moses (’24) traveled to Brazil to compete in the junior category of the  2024 Pan-American Fencing Championship. He earned silver in the individual épée and gold in the team épée alongside teammates Alexander Fray, Daniel Chirashnya and Samuel Imrek. 

“I was nervous but surpassed the nerves and overall had a great experience,” Moses said.

Moses has been fencing for six years. He explains his training and his mindset on the day of the competition.

“It was hard to become the winner I am today,” Moses said. “I had to train constantly. Ironically, that day I was just having fun; it felt very natural, therefore it felt great.”

Moses’ fencing career is hardly over. We’ll be sure to see more of him soon.

“I will continue to fence in college and hopefully one day make it to the Olympic Games,” Moses said.
