Okay, okay, it’s not actually on the equinox or even very close to it this year, but we tried, and we just love our alliteration, and technically Cadet and Junior age categories aren’t “youth” like Y8, Y10, Y12, and Y14, but they’re still mostly kids (except Juniors is 20 & under, which is still basically a kid depending on how old you are, but I digress…).

Anyway, in our inaccurately named Equinox Youth tournament, several kids competed for the first time, and we saw lots of great fencing! This was the 3rd tournament of the 2025-2026 Heartland Youth Circuit season and everyone earned points towards end-of-season standings, updated here. We try to make these fun events with the idea of teaching kids and families how fencing tournaments work. We also appreciate the families that came in from Lincoln and Kansas City! Since most of the kids were from our club, though, it’s easiest to just look at the full results on askfred.net below:
