Hey Everyone!! We had 13 fencers (would have been 14 but Achiel was sick and rested at home) participating at the Regional Comp in Grand Rapids this weekend! Here's the highlights...
In Women's Y12 Saige came out pools 3-1 than stormed through 2 DEs to meet the #1 seed Koko (Ann Arbor) in the semis and in the tradition of Annie Myler( who fenced at ND) Saige did Burpees on the strip before she hooked up!!! It was a hard fought seesaw battle but Saige lost 13-15. Saige took 3rd place her highest finish in Y12!!
Claire emerged as 1st seed in Women's Div2 out of pools. She marched through her first 2 DEs against respectable opponents. She then came up against Grace Nelson (Escrime du Luc-Coach Marie) who was on fire(who would win the event, Go Grace!). Claire took 3rd place.
In Men's Div2... Evan was 4/2 out of pools. However, Evan is determined though to Win the comp....Does he? Hell yeah!! He fought through 5 tough DEs no gimmes... to Earn Gold! This is Evans first Big Comp Victory!! Let's Go Evan!!
Then we have Evie (Y10) in her First Comp EVER let alone a Regional Comp after only really fencing a few months off and on. Evie did Amazing!! 4-3 out of pools and she beat Emma Franger-who's presently 10th in the nation 5-4! Evie started her DE with Aurora tentatively but after the break at 2-5 she s down. Evie pressured her making the score 10-7- (i.e. 5-5 in the 2nd period!!) Evie earned 5th place in her first comp ever!! Let's go!!
Addy placed 15th in Div 1A earning her points and qualifying her for the 2025 Summer Nationals!! Way to Go!
Thanks to GRAFA for running a Great Comp!
