The club and adjunct clubs had a good weekend at three different events in two different states.
At the NCFL meet in Chapel Hill, Foster Willis and Will Golder won all their meets while fencing a person short. Foster was 10-0 while Will went 10-2. The New Hanover Women’s A team went 2-2, also being a fencer short. Reaghan Juelke was 9-1 and Kirin James was 6-5.
On the UNCW front, they swept the top three foil places at a college meet in Greensboro. Oliver Galbraith won the event, Connor Hebert was second, and Taylor May was 3rd. They had 8 foilists and one epeeist compete. Unfortunately, the foilists all tended to run into each other at some point.
On the adult USA Fencing scoreboard, at the Tiger Open in Clemson, South Carolina, Kim Phillips took 6th out of 63 fencers, only losing to the eventual winner. Ricki Richards came in 15th out of 135. He missed the top 8 due to a 14-15 loss to Tommy Dietz.
Additionally, there is an article about fencing in Jacksonville in My Onslow magazine. I don’t know what it says as it hasn’t even shown up as the E-edition yet.
This week of practice will be regular on Monday and Tuesday. I do plan
to have homeschool practice on Wednesday. No afterschool or evening
practice/class Wednesday or Thursday. No practice at Camp Lejeune
Friday. There will be a Saturday morning practice at 10 am. The NAC participants want to get in as much practice as possible, so please show up and work them hard.

The
following week does have the NAC in Richmond. I will be traveling to
Richmond, so Brendan will be taking care of the Thursday night (Dec 1)
practice. I haven’t decided whether to have afterschool and weather may
play a part, so I will let you know. No practice at Camp Lejeune
Friday.

The
NAC sucks up all the air in the fencing universe for that weekend. It
extends until late Monday, so no afterschool or class on December 5th.

Our
next event is on December 10th. Open foil, open epee, and a D and
under sabre. Please start getting signed up now. Some people have already signed up and I think we have the only big
Divisional event between now and the first of the year. If people get signed up we might get a large number of those looking for something who did not go to the NAC.

Columbia, SC, has an unusual event on the 11th. All three weapons as Vet’s combined and Y-12. More info on askfred for those so inclined.
Saturday, December 17th, is the first official homeschool meet at Oak Ridge. It starts at 1 pm and I will contact the homeschool team members as it approaches.
The 17th is also Unrated and U-19 sabre at Mid-South. The next day has unsanctioned Y-12 and Y-14 events.
RTF is hosting foil and sabre events on the 31st of December to close out the year.
