We had a solid, and truthfully named, Old Man Winter event in Wilmington yesterday. The foil was a bit small. First was taken by Jesse Harvey of CFFA with Skylar McKoy of The Wilmington Fencing Club claiming second. Max Davis of CFFA and Josh White of Salle New Bern tied for 3rd. CFFA swept the open epee medals. Josh Harvey won, but contrary to his belief, only updates to a B16, not 17. (perhaps if we hold a Back to the Future tournament?). Brendan McConville pushed him, but settled for second. Herman Smith and Jesse Harvey tied for third. All three of them upgrade to C16s. In the Vet event, Paul Perkins took gold, Robert Thomas took silver, Herman took another bronze, and Robert Mones of Edge of America Fencing was the only non CFFA person to medal. Thanks to everyone who helped with the event.
The homeschool meet scheduled for yesterday was postponed due to weather to a date as yet undecided.
