Matthew Hwang Takes Bronze in Junior Men’s Epee in Las Vegas
The Fortune Gazette, November 2026: Edition 2 Is Here
2 November 2026
Fortune Fencing traveled from Monrovia to Las Vegas for the 3rd Annual BBFC RYC and Y8 tournament on November 7 and 8, 2026.
Matthew Hwang finished 3rd of 20 in Junior Men’s Epee on Saturday, November 7, earning a spot on the podium. He came in seeded 13th, so climbing to a bronze medal took a strong day on the strip.
Results like this come from steady work at practice. Families from Monrovia, Arcadia, Pasadena, Duarte and Sierra Madre train together at Fortune, and every podium is a win for the whole club.
Congratulations, Matthew!
