Marissa Viqueira places 3rd at Summer Nationals

Marisa Viqueira takes 3rd place at the 2010 Summer NationalsMaplewood’s Marissa Viquiera, age 10, has been fencing with the New Jersey Fencing Alliance for four years and was ranked seventh by the USFA before attending the Summer Nationals in Atlanta, Ga. earlier this month.

Marissa competed against 60 of the best 10-year-old fencers in the United States and took home the bronze medal.

NJFA coach Serge Vashkevich said, “Marissa is a strong fencer and has been training very hard for the Summer Nationals. It was great to see her achieve this success.”
Marissa has been training in NJFA’s newly-established elite training program under the guidance of Vashkevich. The emphasis of this elite program is on specialized training for national fencing competitions.

The Ukranian national fencer has come to NJFA with an impressive track record with his past students in California, who have all taken national awards under his tutelage. He is excited about the pool of talent which NJFA has amassed and is committed to seeing these students reach their full potential in competitive national fencing competitions, and joining Marissa on the winners’ podium at the 2011 Summer Nationals.
