We held our last adult event for the year Saturday. In the foil, Jesse Harvey was first defeating Brendan McConville. Will Golder tied with Josh White of Salle New Bern for 3rd. For the epee, Daniel Freeman of Apex Fencing Academy won the katana over Daniel Johnson of Columbia Fencer’s Club. The bronzes were shared by Samantha Wolstenholme-Britt of Apex and our Herman Smith, who re-earned his C. Sabre was won by Kim Phillips, who took out Brendan in the final. Josh White took another bronze home along with Jackson Barbee of Research Triangle Fencing. Thanks to Zemi for running the event. Referees were Bobby Gibbs, Donny Zelinski, Paul Perkins, and Josh White. Thanks to everyone else who helped.

of the school year practices will end this week. On Wednesday and
Thursday for homeschool and afterschool we will have end of the year
parties. Friday will be the final Topsail Middle school practice for
this school year. Regular Friday practice at Camp Lejuene.

Also
on June 2nd, Apex is hosting a referee clinic that will set you up to
take the written referee test. It is written to be difficult so
attending a clinic like this is not only necessary, but very helpful.
It is listed on askfred (look under clinics) for more
details. If you have questions, ask me. They are then having
unsanctioned foil events on the 3rd so that the prospective referees can
be observed.
