RIO DE JANEIRO (February 23, 2024) – AAU member and one of the top AAU fencers, Carlos Romero Kuri, just took home a silver medal at the 2024 Pan American Cadet and Youth Championships. Representing Mexico in the games, Carlos has represented his country and the AAU in a major way.
Presented by the Pan American Fencing Confederation and the International Fencing Federation, the Pan American Championships showcase some of the top athletes and future Olympians. Carlos competed in the Men's U-17 division at 2024 Pan American Cadet & Youth Championships in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
Fencing became an official AAU sport in 2021 and Carlos has been leading the way ever since. From competing at the AAU Junior Olympic Games and helping the sport grow, to winning medals in Brazil, we are hoping to see this AAU member take home Olympic medals one day in the future.
