April North American Cup Results

Four RDF fencers traveled to Milwaukee, WI to compete in Division 2 Epee at the North American Cup tournament. Several fencers were battling illness/injuries, so it was kind of a rough day, but it was still good to get experience fencing people from across the country. Lance finished 67th and Harris finished 89th at his first NAC. Sarah missed the medals stand by 1 touch and ended 13th, and Julia finished 52nd.
