Kalina brought home 3 bonze medals – from Cadet, Junior, and Division 1A Women’s Epee – from the Midwest ROC/RJCC last weekend in Chicago! Sarah also fenced in D1A and finished 14th. Kalina was particularly proud of taking out an opponent in JR that she’d lost to the previous day.

Four RDF fencers traveled (some barely) to Grand Rapids, MI, for the GRAFA 3rd Coast Cup RYC/RJCC/ROC. Bright and early on Saturday, Ava fenced D1A Women’s Epee while recovering from some sort of bug and finished 17th, but Sarah skipped out on it because 3 hours of sleep is not enough. We were feeling better when Tristan fenced CDT ME and finished 18th! Then Sarah and Ava fenced D2 WE, where Sarah took the gold medal and Ava ended 10th.

On Sunday, Tristan started us off in D3 ME, where he finished 10th! Then James won Y12 ME! Finally, both boys fenced Y14 ME, where Tristan earned the gold medal and James finished 12th! Then we got out of there as fast as we could, but still failed to beat the snowstorm, though some had the good sense to wait it out and go around the next day.

Tristan traveled to Iowa City last Sunday to fence in Senior Mixed Epee at the Harvest Open, his first time fencing an event for ages 13 and up. He did a great job getting his arm out fast and making the necessary adjustments and went undefeated in both pools and direct elimination matches. This earned him the gold medal and his E25 rating!

Malakai, Kalina, and Ava fenced at the Remenyik Regional circuit tournament last weekend near Chicago. In Junior Men’s Epee, Malakai went for the experience points, improved from bout to bout, and finished 52nd. In Junior Women’s Epee, Kalina finished 12th. On Sunday, Ava and Kalina fenced Division 1A. Ava tied for 37th, and Kalina ended 21st. Kalina was back a few hours later for Cadet Women’s Epee, where she earned the 5th place medal and a shiny replica dagger that she is fiercely protecting from her clubmates in the interest of their own safety.
