Y10 Men's Epee
Thien Scofield came all the way out to Milwaukee to compete in the missed Y10 event due to the Dallas Shootings in July. He had a late start in his pools and ended up losing his first DE 9-10! Way to not give up! We look forward to seeing what the future has in store for this little hardworker.
