Hoggard sent a two man team and a one woman team to the NCFL meet at Chapel Hill yesterday. Will Golder and Andrew Whitehead went 1-3 as they were always giving away 3 matches out of the 9. Will went 8-2 for the day. Cammy Herbert fenced for the women and inevitably lost all of her matches, but actually went 4-4 individually.
Nicole Milewski attended the Capitol Clash Super Youth Circuit up in Maryland. On Saturday, in the Y-14, she was 3-3 in her pool and unfortunately lost her first DE. Today in the Cadet she was also 3-3, but won her first two DEs, one of which was an upset of the number 7 seed. She ended up 13th out of 79 fencers and was the highest finishing D rated fencer.
Tomorrow there is no afterschool practice as St. Mary is closed for MLK day. The rest of the week should be pretty well back to normal. I will be in Wednesday evening to help prep the Ashley school team if anyone wants to come down.
January
20 is the next homeschool event and we will be hosting it. Start time
is 1:30 pm. We can actually hold a morning practice as I doubt the
homeschoolers will be arriving early, although I will invite them. I will be in at 10:00 and we will need to opening up strips for the homeschoolers so their meet can ruin smoothly at 1:30 pm.

Richmond is hosting the Hangover Open. Usually the Hangover has
solid B or A rated events, but looks smaller than normal this year. Only the open epee looks like it might become an A event.

Sunday, January 21st will be a make up date for an NCFL meet and will be held at Apex.
January
27th is supposed to be the NCFL State team championship. It appears that they will let people with only one other event attend so Hoggard and Ashley (if they make the 21st) should both be able to attend. I am not certain of the location.

February 3rd is a homeschool meet at Oak Ridge which will start at 1:30 pm.
February 3rd and 4th is a foil and epee RYC at Apex. The events are split by gender and are Y10, Y12, and Y14 events. More information is up on askfred. The entry deadline is this Friday and you must prepay on askfred to be registered.
February 10 is the NCFL individual conference qualifiers at a location to be decided.
That weekend is also Mid-South’s Annual Grand Open. They will have events in all three weapons split by gender. See askfred for the schedule.
Also on Saturday the 10th is a foil and epee event in Charleston, South Carolina. At the moment, a number of our fencers are planning to attend and the epee looks to be at least a strong C event.
I am currently planning to be away to the Junior Olympics in Memphis over
the President’s Day weekend. We may
actually use this date as a make up for the Old Man Winter. I will
keep you posted.
The Lynn Krupey
Memorial Iron Maiden (March 24). This is still the only 3 weapon event
Memorial Iron Maiden (March 24). This is still the only 3 weapon event
exclusively for women in the state, so it would be good to get our
people signed up
soon to draw other women. There is no reason the epee can’t be an A and
the foil and sabre at least have some kind of rating, but all you of
the female persuasion need to get signed up early to attract other
fencers.
