FFA fencers Nickolay Mavrodiev and William Bowden represented the Academy at the USF Papa Ryan's Birthday Bash 2020 in Tampa on Saturday, January 25th. 

While both fenced in the Epee Mixed Open event, it was in the C and Under Epee event that #3 seed Nickolay moved through the bouts to the final match to earn the Silver Medal.

Congrats to Nickolay and to Coach Harper for the great performance!  We are looking forward to the upcoming tournament next week at the University of Florida.
