CFFA update for February 11

CFFA update for February 11
Today, Kirin James and Reaghan Juelke represented New Hanover in the NCFL High School Team Championships.  Fencing a person short they still finished 5th in a 10 team field.  Their only loss was to East Chapel Hill, who ended up winning the event.  They defeated Bishop McGuinness and Morehead.  The match with Morehead settled 5th and 6th place.  Reaghan was up in the last encounter of that match and needed to defeat her opponent 5-0 to win the match outright.  And she did.
JOs
are February 17-20.  I will be away and the following changes need to
be made to the schedule.  No afterschool or evening class on Thursday,
February 16.  Regular practice should be available at 7:30 ish with
other officers of the club.  No practice or class at Camp Lejeune
Friday, February 17.  No afterschool or evening class on Monday,
February 20.  Current flight plans should have me back for afterschool
and evening events on February 21.  However, do keep an eye on weather
between here and Kansas City, just in case.

The
NCFL individual championships are February 18th at Greensboro.  Reaghan Juelke is our only participant.

The
NAC in Baltimore will also be huge.  It has the Div 1 National
Championships, plus Vets, Div II, and Div III.  The regular fee deadline
is February 22nd.

February 25 is a homeschool meet at CFFA.  Time for the meet is 1:30 pm.  We should have the Southeastern team plus teams from Oak Ridge and Twin City.  They fence the Olympic relay format, first to 45 wins.  I am certain our homeschool fencers would like a crowd of supporters.

Also
that weekend is the ACC championships at Duke.  There is some talk of
taking those interested up to see some very high level college fencing. 
I will keep you posted.  Saturday is Women’s individuals and Men’s team events.  Sunday is the reverse.

March
4-5 are the Division II/III and Y-14 qualifiers in Greensboro.  The
entry deadline before fees go up is 2/26.  Check askfred for more info.  Currently we only have 4 fencers entered.
pax vobiscum,
