A busy weekend for our fencers. On Saturday we held the fourth of our five kids tournaments. The foil was interesting in that over half of the competitors were age 9 or younger. However the older kids dominated. Kyler Schoonmaker won with Will Golder second. Logan Pfeifle and Reaghan Juelke tied for third. For the younger ones Rayne Schoonmaker took gold, Don Evans took silver, and Christopher Donelson took bronze. The sabre was a small affair. Reaghan Juelke won, William Novotny was second, Avery Walston and Seaborne Maguire tied for third. The epee was not only all female but also all left handed. Abbey Campbell took first, Lydia Huggins took second, and Emily Campbell was third. Thanks to the Zelinskis and Ryan Miller for all the help. Here are the current points for the season long competition for the swords. I am listing just the top 10 boys and all the girls. I will put the full list up on the bulletin board and on the website.

On Sunday we had a couple of fencers go up to Mid-South’s Annual Grand Open. Joe McLaughlin represented us in Vet sabre. He went 3-4 in the pool and lost his first DE to David Minton. Emma Filer was in the foil. She went 3-2 in her pool, won her first DE and then lost to Stephen Pashby 14-15. Both of them made good showings.
What is now the Lynn Krupey Memorial Iron Maiden will be held Saturday, March 21. Foil,
epee, and D and under sabre. Zemi has hand made the trophies and has also been busy making key chains that will be given to every competitor. The numbers are edging up, but we would like to see some more people so that we can hopefully give away some ratings. Get signed up on askfred.

For those who have asked, Lynn’s mom has asked that any donations in Lynn’s memory should go to:
SECU Family House at UNC
123 Old Mason Farm Road
Chapel Hill, NC 27517
please mark checks “in memory of Lynn Krupey”
or you can bring them to the Iron Maiden
The SECU House is the adult version of a Ronald McDonald House and allows family to stay close to loved ones who are receiving long term care.
A memorial service has been scheduled for Lynn at Halyburton Park from 1-3 pm on April 12th.
Mid-South is hosting the
area’s RYC on the 28th and 29th. They have changed how you get to
Nationals for Y-12 and Y-10, so just showing up is not enough. It is now
also based on how well you do, but you can’t get qualified if you don’t
go. It is also a good first step for those of you considering the jump to
bigger events like the JOs. They also have Y-14 events, some of which are
looking pretty strong.
