Cheryl traveled to Salle Auriol Seattle in Washington to compete in the Seattle International Veterans’ Cup last Sunday. The “veteran” age category is 40 & up, although at large tournaments they split it out even further by decade (e.g. 70-79). Cheryl fenced well and finished 8th!

On Sunday, Chi Chi and Ebele traveled to Iowa City to fence at ICFC’s Igloo Open! Chi Chi did quite well in the first round (where we fence 5-point matches, or bouts), coming out of it 2nd, but lost her 15-point bout and ended 5th. Ebele took a little longer to find her groove, and did her best fencing in her 15-point bout, finishing 9th.

Last weekend, we held our annual December Youth Tournament with events in Y10, Y12, Y14, Cadet, and Junior age categories. This was also the 2nd Heartland Youth Circuit event, which means everyone got points toward end-of-season awards. We saw lots of good fencing and good sportsmanship, and everyone got to pick a prize from the miscellaneous prize box!

Down in St. Louis, Campbell, Kalina, Ben, Jack, and Daniel fenced at the Daugherty Challenge RYC/RJCC/ROC (which is just a bunch of letters that basically mean “regional-level events for Youth, Cadet, Junior, and Open categories, which give regional points, which can qualify a fencer for nationl-level events”).
In Junior (20 & Under) Men’s Epee, Jack came in 5th, Daniel was 13th with Campbell right behind in 14th.
In Division 2 (“C”-rated and lower) Men’s Epee, Daniel took silver, Jack finished 15th, and Campbell was 17th.
In Y12 Women’s Epee, Kalina finished 3rd.

This past Saturday, Chi Chi and Ebele fenced in their first tournament outside our club, traveling to Iowa City for UIFC’s Hawkeye Open. They both had some nice actions and well-fenced bouts throughout the day. After the first round (pools), they had the misfortune of meeting each other for their first direct elimination bout. Chi Chi finished 6th, and Ebele ended 12th!

Kalina traveled to blustery Chicago to fence in the Windy City SYC! She had some challenging but fun bouts in Y12 Women’s Epee, a huge event compared to the tournaments we host at our club. It was cool to see so many girls her age fencing in the same place! It was her first Y12 event outside the club, and she finished 30th.
