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.
