Day 4 gold medalists

A fifth gold of the weekend

Julie Seal's Veteran Women's Saber title was her fifth gold medal of the weekend, across individual and team veteran events. Veteran fencing at a NAC runs several age brackets plus team competition, which makes a weekend like that possible — and no less demanding for a fencer competing on consecutive days.

Junior saber gold

Silas Choi won Junior Men's Saber. Junior events at a February NAC matter for national points and for selection conversations later in the season, which is why the junior brackets tend to be the deepest saber fields at the event.

Parafencing on the same strips

Both parafencing saber titles were decided on the final day, with Tareq Alqallaf and Shelby Mitchell taking gold. Parafencing is contested at NACs alongside every other category — a structural point worth knowing for any family assuming the sport has a narrow entry point.
