1-3 is the Ned Light RYC at Mid-South. We have a few fencers going up.
April NAC in Richmond is Friday, April 8th, through Monday, April 11th;
so no afterschool that Monday. Also no fencing at Camp Lejeune that
Friday.
next event is Saturday, April 16th. Open foil, Open epee, and an E and
under foil. Start getting signed up now. The epee is now an A event. The foil could be a C. It has the ranks, but not the numbers. The E foil was put there as an event that our lower level/beginning foilists could enter and compete against other similar fencers. At the moment, the only entrant is from New Bern. The foil fencers need to learn from the epee fencers. They got signed up and other people from across the state have jumped in and made the event higher rated. Our foilists need to get signed up, at least for the E and under, and a few should try the open. Now is better than later, otherwise for next season it will make no sense to try and hold such events.
30/May 1 is an RJCC at Apex. This is a regional competition solely for
Y-16 and Y-19 events. Most of the men’s events look like they will be A
competitions. The women’s events will be strong although probably not
that strong. Entry fees go up after April 15.
7-8 is the Division Div II/III and Y-14 qualifiers in Burlington.
Preregistration ends April 30th. All the events look to be small at the
moment. Good to attend even if you won’t be going to Dallas.
is holding a bunch of unsanctioned events on May 14th. Open women’s
foil and epee, open mixed foil and epee, Y-10 mixed foil, and Y-12 mixed
foil and epee. These are unsanctioned, so all you need is the standard
non-competitive USA Fencing membership. A really good event for those
looking to move up from our youth events or early career older fencers
looking for a less intense competition.
