We had a number of fencers compete in the Capitol Clash in Maryland over the weekend. First off on Saturday were Erica Julien and Christi Golder in Veteran Women’s epee. Erica won one bout in her pool, lost her first DE and finished 14th. Christi went 2-3 in her pool. In her first DE that arrived at priority. Christi lost the priority call, but must have frightened her opponent so much as she came down the strip that her opponent stepped off the back end. She lost her second DE, but still took the 7th place medal and earned her E. Erica then fenced the Veterans women’s sabre, had a rough pool, lost her first DE, and finished 16th. Jackson Jones also had a hard pool, lost his first DE, and finished 49th. Kim Phillis had the best outing of anyone. He competed in the Veterans Men’s sabre, went undefeated in his pool and eventually took the 2nd place medal, re-earning his B19. Amelia Alexander fenced in the Y-14 and Y-12 Women’s foil. She did better in the Y-12 where she went 2-4 before losing her DE. Will Golder fenced both Cadet Men’s foil and epee. He went 3-3 in the epee, won his first DE, then lost the second to end up 53rd. On Sunday he was 4-2 in the foil, but drew a hard to hit left hander and lost this first DE, finishing 67th.

March 2nd is the Homeschool A team Championshiop at Winston Salem.
For everyone else, Mid-South has their Grand Opening tournament. Men’s and Women’s events in all three weapons. Women’s sabre had a number of fencers, but the other two are pretty low at the moment. Men’s epee and sabre might turn into As. Foil will probably be a B. Check askfred.

I
got very little response (2 people) to the question: Anyone
interested in doing a demo at a Shark’s Baseball game this summer? If we don’t have some more, I will tell them we aren’t interested.

The schedule for summer camps looks like it will Be July 8-12, Beginner Camp; July 15-19, Advanced Foil Camp, July 22-26, Advanced Sabre Camp, and finally July 29 – August 2, Advanced Epee Camp.
There was a request for a camp in mid-late June for those who cannot attend one of the other camps. It would probably be an advanced three weapon camp for one week. Any other people interested?
