Sarah and Kalina competed at Northwestern University’s Remenyik ROC/RJCC tournament last weekend. Division 1A Women’s Epee was Kalina’s first senior (ages 13 and up) event. She and Sarah both went 3-3 in the first round (pools), which meant that they had the misfortune of being each other’s first bout in the second round (direct elimination). Sarah won the 15-point bout 15-14, and then was eliminated by 1st seed, finishing 25th. Kalina ended 40th, but fortunately had another event to fence – cadet! She fenced well, making it to the round of 16 before being eliminated in a 15-14 bout with the eventual silver medalist. She finished 10th overall and came home with a little replica sword for being the highest-placing D-rated fencer.
