Brendan Francis Cusack (born June 29, 1992) is an Irish and American dual citizen foil fencer who competes on the Irish national team.
== Background ==
Born in Summit, New Jersey, Cusack acquired Irish citizenship from his paternal grandfather, John Cusack, who was born and raised in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland. He grew up in Glen Gardner, New Jersey〔Conover, Allan. ("Brendan Cusack is sharp in major fencing event" ), ''Hunterdon County Democrat'', August 4, 2011. Accessed April 3, 2013. "The Glen Gardner resident, who was officially representing the Irish Fencing Federation, became the first Irish male to achieve such a lofty finish in the Senior Europeans and was also the only age under-20 fencer to place among the top 32 in the tournament, which is generally considered the most difficult and competitive championship in the world besides the Olympic Games."〕 and attended North Hunterdon High School, where he won the New Jersey State individual fencing title in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cusack, Schumacher, Copti win fencing individual state championships )〕
He began his fencing career in 2003. In 2008, he finished second in the Irish National Senior Championship. In 2010, he placed 39th in his first Junior World Championship〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=North Hunterdon's Brendan Cusack competes in World Fencing Championships in Azerbaijan )〕 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Later that year, he won the Irish Open Championship〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American-based High School Fencer Wins Irish Open Championship )〕 in Dublin, and in February 2011 won the bronze medal at the Junior World Cup〔Cusack claims bronze at Junior World Cup, Irish Examiner, World of Sports, page 24, February 28, 2011〕 in Aix-en-Provence, France. In March 2011, he won the New Jersey State HS Fencing Championship for the first time,〔 after finishing 4th, 3rd and 2nd in previous attempts. As a result of placings achieved in previous World Cup events in Luxembourg, England, Austria, and Spain, he moved into the top 35 of the world rankings for under-20 fencers, and also qualified for the World Championships in Amman, Jordan, where he defeated six opponents and finished 30th 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cusack Takes on the Best )〕 of 114 entrants from 48 countries. In July 2011, Cusack became the first Irishman to finish in the top 16 of the European Fencing Championships〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FIE Results )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irish Fencing Federation Report )〕 and subsequently was selected to represent Ireland at the European Zonal Olympic Qualifiers in Bratislava, Slovakia on April 21, 2012.
