Another busy weekend with a number of good results. First we had a fair number of people go to the Div II/III National Qualifiers in Durham.
Oliver Galbraith got things started on Saturday by winning the Men’s foil, which qualifies him for the Division II National Championships. Nicole Milewski followed that up by winning the Women’s epee, also qualifying for Division II. Erica Julien was 5th, qualifying for the Veterans event. Erica followed that up with a 5th in sabre, qualifying for the Veterans in that as well. On Sunday, Robert Thomas took 2nd in the Men’s epee; qualifying for Division II, Division III, and Veterans. Eoin O’Brien claimed 3rd, qualifying for the Division II and III. Robert Smith finished 7th and Joey Smith finished 9th. In Y-14 women’s foil Amelia Alexander was 4th, Eilis O’Brien was 7th, and Chloe Craig was 9th.
UNCW’s Fencing Club was also competing over the weekend at the Southeastern Fencing Association Championships in Greensboro. Their Men’s epee was 11th of 19. The women’s epee was 3rd of 11. Oliver ran from the Divisionals to the SEFA event and lead the Men’s foil to 1st out of 11 teams.

possibilities.

The response was pretty overwhelming to have the next youth event on the 20th, so that is when it will be. More details as we get closer.
