A quick reminder to those thinking about entering this weekend's Thanksgiving Throwdown in Richmond: pre-register! It saves you $5 on the entry fee and makes it easier for RFC to run things. While there is just one event each for senior (13+) epee and saber, there are THREE separate senior foil events! Visit the above link to see which events are when. I'll be there both days with the usual caveat that I'll need to leave mid-afternoon on Sunday so I can be back in Poquoson in time for class.
A lot of you went out to check the action at last weekend's NAC in Virginia Beach and I've loved hearing what you thought about it! Scott competed in the Div I men's epee and did well enough in pools to make the cut into DEs. (Only the top 75% were promoted to DEs, the remaining 25% were eliminated at the end of pools). Alas, his first DE match was also his last but the guy who took him out continued onward, only being eliminated in the quarter-finals. So hey, if you're going to get knocked out, gotta like getting knocked out by a top-8 finisher! He also had the fun of fencing the eventual tournament winner in his pool so all in all, it was a pretty good day of fencing! Full Div I men's epee results are here and results for all of the NAC events are here.
