Catching Up

Tournament Updates!
While you were running around trying to study for tests and finals, the fencers were fencing and then trying to study for tests and finals. The result was a gain in awesome medals/trophies and an absence of time for writing up the awesomeness that occurred(, but let's face it, you wouldn't have had time to read it all anyway because you were oh-so-studiously studying for those tests and finals, right?)

The South Atlantic Conference!
The SAC was held at James Madison University March 26th and 27th. We all piled into a van on the 25th and made our way to Virginia! Getting 14 people and 14 people's weekend travel stuff and 14 people's fencing stuff into one van was quite a feat.

Saturday:
Men's Epee fielded their first team! Men's Saber took 6th, and Men's Foil took 5th with Eric Lange placing 6th individually.

Sunday:
The Women's Foil team (consisting of two rookies at their first tournament) placed 11th (which wasn't last!), and the Women's Saber Team kicked. butt. They came in 1st place as a team, with Xenia placing 6th, Emily placing 2nd, and Courtney placing 1st individually!


A few weeks later the fencers traveled to the CFCS and those adventures are to be continued!
