NEWARK, NJ--NJIT freshman David Kong is 17th out of 24 fencers in the men's foil competition after Day One at the 2014 NCAA Fencing Championships hosted by Ohio State in French Field House.
 
Fencers competed in a round-robin format of five-touch bouts for five rounds. The top four finishers in each weapon after round-robin competition will fence in semifinal 15-touch bouts, with winners fencing to determine first and second-places, and the non-advancing fencers tying for third place.
