We
had three fencers go to Durham to attempt to qualify for the Junior
Olympics which will be held in Kansas City on President’s day weekend.
They all qualified the hard way, meaning they all had to win a fence off
for the 3rd and final qualifying place. Oliver Galbraith qualified in
both Junior (13-19) men’s foil and epee. Samantha Milewski qualified in
junior women’s epee. Will Golder qualified in Cadet (13-16) men’s
foil.

We
will be hosting the first NCFL meet of the season on November 5th.
This tends to be a huge event and we can use help. It looks like there
will be 5-6 men’s and women’s foil teams, 2-3 epee teams, and 3-6 B
division teams. It starts at 10 am, so if you want to help referee,
etc., please arrive no later than 9:45 am. I don’t think it will be a
long day with the numbers, if we can keep things moving. Thanks.

For
adults who want to compete rather than help referee, etc., ECU is
having their fall event on the 5th. It has foil, epee, and a C and
under epee. The foil might become an E, the open epee a B, and the C and under epee a C.

November’s beginner class will start on Monday, the 7th.
Our
next event will be November 12th. It has an open epee that is well on
its way to being a B. The open foil might get to a C and the E and under foil should at least be an E event. Get signed up.

November 19th has the next NCFL meet, which I believe will be at Chapel Hill.
November
19th is also the Tiger Open at Clemson. Right now the open epee is an
86 person A4, the Div 3 epee should be a 50 person event, the open foil
is a strong B2, but the sabre events are currently weaker.
