RESULTS
At the Cincinnati NAC on Friday Herman Smith participated in the Vet 70 epee. He was 1-4 in his pool and, unfortunately, drew a person from the pool for his first DE. He lost a close 7-10 bout to finish 38th.
Today, Nicole Milewski fenced in the Div 1 women’s epee event. She was 6-0 in her pool, beating 4 other As, two of whom were on the national points list. She got a bye and won her first DE. She lost her second DE but still finished 33/214.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES
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 and Div II Men’s epee.
The Lynn Krupey Memorial Iron Maiden is on March 7. It is the state’s only all women’s event. We need to get all of our eligible female fencers out to draw in as many other participants as possible. The foil could end up as a D event, the epee could be a C event, and sabre could become an E event.
Donny Zelinski’s club (Salle New Bern) has scheduled their outdoor epee for April 11th at the Tryon Palace in New Bern. The Clicks are in and there are 2 Cs from Donny’s club. If we could just find 2 Bs somewhere and can get a bunch more bodies, it would be an A event.
CLUB UPDATES
Monday is President’s Day, so no afterschool. Monday night’s class will meet. The rest of the week should be smooth sailing.
Our upcoming events are on askfred. Get signed up for the Iron Maiden March 7th and the Stab-a-thon on April 18.
