The Rhode Island Fencing Academy & Club (RIFAC), during the weekend of November 1-2, 2025, sent a group of eager athletes to Boston Fencing Club to participate in BFC’s second youth series tournament of the 2025 season. The program included separate categories for foil, epee, and saber, divided by age group: 14 years old or under, 12 or under, and 10 or under. The RIFAC group performed best in the 14 and under age group.

Posie Biggs, a RIFAC fencer from Seekonk, secured a top-eight, 5th place win in Y-14 Women’s Epee. She had positive results in pools with five victories to three losses. She emerged 4th after the pool round. Posie’s pool performance earned her a 1st round, direct elimination bye. She persevered until the quarter-finals where she finished 5th.

RIFAC is located in East Providence and focuses most of its attention on youth fencers. The Boston tournament was intended to provide an opportunity for youth fencers to experience competition and practice skills they’ve learned in RIFAC’s reputable development program.
