We saw lots of great fencing at RDF during our December Youth (and Cadet and Junior) tournament last weekend, both from our fencers and a great group of kids that traveled in from Lincoln, NE! Parents and families did a great job being appropriately supportive, and the kids displayed good sportsmanship by cheering each other on, helping each other with equipment/water/snacks, and giving each other pointers in between bouts. We also had several kids step up to help referee!

In Y10 Epee, Natalie was 2nd and Quinton finished 3rd. In Y12, RDF kids James won the big gold chocolate coin, Tristan was 2nd, Liam tied for 3rd, Kai was 5th, Colton finished 6th, Javy was 7th, Oscar came in 8th, Lilly was 12th, and Robert ended 14th! Kalina won Y14, Tristan and James tied for 3rd, Ella finished 5th, Javy ended 6th, and Cole was 7th! In Cadet, Kalina was 1st, and Jackson was 3rd! Finally, in Junior Epee, Jack won gold, Ava took silver, and Kalina tied for bronze!
