After a life-altering accident in 2017 left him an amputee, Garrett Schoonover transitioned from being a bodybuilder and soldier to embracing parafencing.
Schoonover began his fencing journey at a local club in Utah. He quickly realized he had a natural talent for the sport.
He is a three-time national championship winner, in all three fencing disciplines having recently won Gold at the Parafencing Championships in Salt lake City.
His relentlessness and perseverance has led him to compete at the highest levels of the sport including representing the USA in the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris, France.
Garrett will be competing in:
- Individual Men’s Saber A
- Individual Men’s Foil A
- Individual Men’s Epee A
- Men’s Foil Team
- Men’s Epee Team
Good luck, Garrett! Utah is cheering you on!
