Zorain Chakraborty
I discovered my love for fencing in a demo class at Kaizen Academy in early 9th grade, before making the switch to SAS, where I've spent the majority of my fencing career. I graduating from the Bush School and will be attending Emory University in the fall, studying biology/pre-medicine. Emory does not have a fencing club, but I will be using one of their many incredible gyms, and open fencing at one of Atlanta's many clubs!

Lucca Goldin
Lucca is graduating from the Northwest School on June 9th. He will be attending Embry Riddle to study aerospace engineering. Lucca has been fencing at Salle Auriol Seattle since second grade. While Embry Riddle does have a fencing club, they don’t have saber so he will be exploring other things. He’s looking forward to visiting Nikita and the gang during holidays.
Dillon Hogue
Dillon's introduction to fencing was in 6th grade at the Evergreen School in Shoreline. After a few classes and camps in middle school, a summer camp brought him to Salle Auriol, and he joined the saber class in 10th grade. He is graduating from The Downtown School; this fall he will go to North Seattle College, with plans to head to the University of Washington afterwards. He'll be taking a break from fencing for now, but hopes to return to fencing at some point later on.
Thank you to Kundry, Coach Eric and Coach Nikita for all their support, and to all the SAS saber fencers!

Spencer is graduating from The Downtown School and will be attending UW Seattle in the Fall. His first fencing experience was in 6th grade with Shaye Whitmer at The Evergreen School in Shoreline. Looking to do more fencing after middle school, he enrolled in a summer saber camp at SAS, and in 10th grade he joined the saber class.
Spencer plans to take some time off to get settled into college, but he hopes to get back to fencing in the future. Thank you to Coach Eric, Coach Nikita, Kundry, and all of the saber fencers at SAS!
