Amelia Alexander won the sword for the girls and Rayne Schoonmaker won the sword for the boys. In a first, we had a tie for the Sportsmanship award and Eamon O’Brien and John Alexander will both receive swords. A huge thanks to Kyler Schoonmaker, Phil Nazzaro, and Josiah Nazzaro for the help with refereeing. Thanks to Herman Smith for armoring. Thanks to the parents and fencers for a successful season.
Pretty much a regular summer week this week. Practice Tuesday and Thursday night, with Camp Lejeune on Friday. There is an event in the basement on June 9th, so no Saturday practice. In addition, we will be taking down the overheads this Thursday and putting them back up the following Tuesday.
June 9th is Mid-South’s last sabre extravaganza of the year. They are having a women’s sabre and a Vet combine mixed sabre.
Powerade State Games
are the weekend of June 16-17. Currently the fields are very small. The last update I have lists them from May 16th, so it is the same numbers as last week. The fees jumped again on June 1, so it is the most expensive it will be at this point.
June 12th I will start having a summer practice for the younger set at
6:30 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We will go for about an hour and the
cost is $5 per time or $25 per month.
