USC FENCING
             
2005 Linkmeyer Invitational
 
This year's USC-Linkmeyer Invitational Tournament was another great success, as 187 fencers converged on the USC campus for the Open Foil, Epee, Sabre and Women's Epee competitions on February 12th. First places went to Cedric Anen in Foil, Matthew McConnaughy in Epee, Paul Hicha in Sabre and Oriana Isaacson in Women's Epee. Several USC Fencers competed in the tournament as well. The final word on the tournament: Hope to see you all next year. For more results, click here
