CFFA update for December 5

Results so far from the Baltimore NAC:  On Friday Joe McLaughlin went 2-4 in his pool for Vet 60 sabre, won his 1st DE, and finished 15th in the field.  That was the highest placing by an unrated fencer.  Herman Smith went 1-4 in the Vet combined epee, lost his DE to an A, and finished 78th.  Connor Costa of UNCW was 2-3 in his pool and finished 95th in the Div I foil, which I believe was the highest placing of anyone with NC ties.  On Saturday, Joe had a long day with the youngsters in the  Div II sabre, but did have a close DE with the number 18 seed.  Erica Julien fenced the Vet combined, won her first DE, and then lost to the number 1 seed.  On Sunday Joe finished out his week in the combined Vet sabre with a loss to the number 5 seed in his DE.  Erica beat the only B in the field for the Div II epee 5-2 in her pool, but lost her 1st DE and finished 77th.  Samantha Milewski started slowly in her pool, but tied her first DE up on a last second (and I truly mean literally last second) fleche and then won in priority.  She then beat the number 9 seed in the table before losing to the B and finished in 32nd in the Div II.  Erica and Brendan McConville have events tomorrow and I will update you on their results.

No afterschool on Monday December 7th as I will still be in Baltimore.  Tuesday and Thursday will have regular practices all day.  Wednesday will have regular homeschool and afterschool practices, but no evening practice as the UNCW students are doing finals.  We will have practice at Camp Lejeune this Friday.
