We had three fencers go up to Mid-South this weekend and all cam back with awards. Samantha Milewski took thirs in the open epee. Joe McLaughlin took second and Alex Hoelscher took thirds in the E and under sabre.
Unless something gets cancelled due to the weather, it will be a regular week of practice.
May
16th is a set of unsanctioned events up at Apex. Unsanctioned means
you cannot earn a rating, but it would be a new set of people
for you to fence. The events will be a Y-10 foil, Y-12 foil and epee,
Junior mixed foil, and Junior mixed epee. They have just added an
unsanctioned women’s epee and changed the women’s junior foil to open
women’s foil. This is a good opportunity for a
number of our 12 and younger fencers who want to move to the next level
(moving out of our club events). The junior events look like they will
be pretty strong. You will need a full uniform, so talk to me if
interested. get signed up soon if you are interested
so they know how many refs they will need.

Our
Stab-a-thon season ending event will occur on Saturday, May 23rd. Open
Epee, open foil, and a D and under foil. If we can get 4
Ds, 4Es, and 25 total foilists the winner can get a C without having to
fence Cs. Right now both of the opens are really top heavy. No Es or
Us in the epee and only one U in the foil. Get signed up on askfred
ASAP so we can lure in other fencers.

other clubs come down to fence. I will keep you posted.
