Buckie Leach, US National Coach for Women’s Foil – which includes our own Nicole Ross – coached his team to the first World Championship Gold in Team Foil for the USA this summer and guided his team to a historic #3 world ranking. Our Head Coach Daria Schneider served as the team captain for World Championships where Team USA broke its previous records for overall medals, winning 6, and for overall finish, coming in 3rd.
