CFFA update for April 15

CFFA update for April 15

Numerous fencers in multiple events again.  At the Pirate Olympics in Charleston, Brendan McConville did the best in the open, coming in 3rd.  Eoin O’Brien was 9th, Kenyatta Sanford was 15th, Mike Kinney 17th, Joey and Robert Smith were 19th and 20th.  Eoin took 2nd in the 1 touch epee, no other results are on askfred. 

At Apex, Amelia Alexander took 3rd in the Y12 women’s foil and John took 7th in the Y12 men’s foil.
Out west in Salt Lake City, competing in the NAC, Erica Julien was 9th in the 70+ women’s epee, 57th in the Vet’s combined women’s epee, and took the 5th place medal in the 70+ women’s sabre.

A very light week of practice this week.  St.
Mary will be on Spring Break the week on 4/15 – 4/19, so no
afterschool.  I am planning to have a homeschool practice on 4/17 and the Tuesday and Thursday evening practices are a go.  No evening practices on Wednesday.  No Topsail or Camp Lejeune practice
on Good Friday.

The
response was pretty overwhelming to have the next youth event on the
20th, so that is when it will be. Foil at 10 am, Epee at 1:30 pm, and
Sabre at 3:30 pm.  Again, refereeing help is greatly appreciated.

St.
Mary is also off on Monday the 22nd, so no afterschool that day
either.  The beginner class will meet that evening and everything will
be back to normal on Tuesday.
May 4th is our
Stab-a-thon.  The Open epee is currently a B.  The
Open foil needs a number of ranked fencers and bodies.  The E and under
epee needs a number of people and another E to be able to give away a
D.  Don’t forget that you must be entered by a week before or the fees go up.
The May beginner class will start on Tuesday, May 6th.
On the 11th Apex will have another one of their youth events.
Also on the 11th, All-American
in Fayetteville is having unrated (Meaning only U fencers) with men’s
and women’s foil.  If there are 6 people then someone will get an E. 
They are also having an open epee.  See askfred.

pax vobiscum,
