RESULTS
James Russell went to the individual qualifying event for the NCFL at Chapel Hill High School yesterday. He started slowly, losing every bout in the pool round. He then got it together and won all of his DEs to finish first.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES
The Old Man Winter’s last day to sign up at the lower fees is today. The epee is full and wait listed. The foil and Vet epee have both reached 15 so should be rated higher than an E event. Right now, the foil is a D event and the Vet epee should be a C.
The Divisional II/III and Y14 National Qualifiers are now up on askfred. Even though the Nationals are in Portland, this should be a good event to attend. The event is March 21-22, and registration closes on March 15. The events are still pretty sparse except for the Div II Men’s foil.
The 31st is the next Homeschool/Pisacafe event, in Greensboro. Start getting signed up as registration closes on January 28th.
CLUB UPDATES
Things are getting back to normal after the break. Club practice Tuesday and Thursday night. Afterschool on Monday and Wednesday at 3:30 pm and Homeschool on Wednesday at 1 pm. No afterschool this Monday (MLK Day).
I don’t see anyone other than Herman for the Cincinnati NACs. It doesn’t look like anyone close is holding an event on that Saturday (February 14). That would make it possible to hold one of our club age 12 and under events. Let me know if people 12 and under are up for an event on February 14. So far there does not seem to be much interest.
Our upcoming events are now up on askfred. The Lynn Krupey Memorial Iron Maiden is on March 7, and the Stab-a-thon is on April 18.
We will be hosting the state High School team Championships on February 7th. I will want to try to enlist some help with set up/tear down and maybe some help with refereeing. (foil and epee)
