There has been a great deal of speculation regarding the schedule and locations for USA Fencing’s national events for next season. This morning an updated list was posted to the forums. This list contains links back to the PSA site. This seems to be a fairly strong confirmation, but USA Fencing won’t be officially announcing these until Summer Nationals in a little over a week. [US Fencing’s announcement has been published now.]
The schedule starts with St. Louis in October and two events in Virginia. The east coast also gets Junior Olympics in Baltimore, MD while Summer Nationals is slated for Memphis, TN. The west coast gets one event, back in Reno, NV for a Div II/III/Vet and Wheelchair event.
Here’s the confirmed schedule:
