Top Seed Farrag (Columbia) Claims Northeast Men's Foil Title

Final standings for the Northeast Regionals men's foil competition are included below (the Northeast has an allocation of nine men's foilists for the NCAA Championships). A quick look shows that only two of the initial top-12 seeds failed to reach the third and final pool round (final-12): 


•  #4  Nathaniel Botwinick  (Yale ... placed 13th)
•  #5  Adam Pantel  (Brown ... placed 15th)


These top-12 finishers initially were seeded outside the top-12:

•  #21  Daniel Levine  (MIT ... placed 10th)
•  #17  Nick Kazimiroff  (Boston College ... placed 12th)
