A good day for both of our fencers.
Robert Thomas, in the Div. III epee, went 3-2 in his pool. However, there were 4 people who were 3-2 in that pool and Robert came out on top with the best indicators. He won his first DE pretty handily and then lost the next DE in a close one. He finished up 47th out of 143.
Oliver Galbraith competed in the Div II foil event. He was 5-1 in his pool , missing going undefeated by one touch. That made him the number 30 seed in the DE. He had a bye in the first round, then one by one touch in his first DE. Oliver won his next DE pretty handily, and then again won by one touch in the waning seconds of his next match. He then lost to the fencer who ended up in 3rd. That placed Oliver 13th out of 200, which I think is his best National finish.
Gabe Lima of RTF took the silver medal.
That just leaves us with Nicole doing the Y-12 epee on Thursday.
