Short Updates and Upcoming Tourneys
Before the updates, I just wanted to say how much progress all of our fencers are making! I’ve been coaching a long time, and this year, we’ve got such a great group of athletes. We have more people competing than ever before, and more people travelling to other clubs for tournaments. Those are always hard steps to make. But that sort of experience has created an environment of our fencers wanting to get better among their peers. I love seeing our fencers grow not just in our sport, but in all aspects of their life.
Congrats to the fencers that competed in Wilmington! Some of our best results this year! Coach took 11th, Isabelle took 15th, Jack took 20th, and Elinor took 23rd.
