Hey All!! Here are the highlights of the weekend's Motor City Regional Comp!!! First, HUGE Bows out to the RFC Organizers Crew!!!!!! YOU ALL ROCK!!!
We had 8 fencers( Addy, Achiel, Evan, Ella, Saige, Colton, Henry, and Cedric) competing this weekend.
Addy started off strong and ended with a Bronze Medal finish in Junior Women's Epee losing in the semifinal 14-15 to Marzouk!!
In Cadet Men's Epee Achiel and Colton fenced strongly won 2 pool bouts lost some close bout ultimately finishing Achiel 26th and Colton 28th out of 36 fencers. Henry( first regional) didn't win any pool bouts but went into his DE with confidence/Open mind and won! He then lost to the number one seed 8-15. Evan fenced well in pools 4-2. He won his first two DE s with conviction. Than he came up against Pan( who would win the competition) in R16. Evan was controlling the bout 12-9 than rushed a few touches letting Pan back into the bout. In the end, Evan tied it up 14-14 with a clean flèche but wasn't able to create another touch and lost, finishing 11th.
Sunday was tough Y14 Women's, Junior Men's and Y14 Men's Epee. Ella fenced consistently with one victory but many close bouts. Saige had a rough go but in her last pool bout beat Timensky ( who won the comp)!!
Y14 Men's Epee.... Cedric in his 2nd Regional won 2 pool bouts!! In pools, Colton was 4-1 and 6th out of 25! But he lost his first DE to a tough opponent and he ended up 10th!! Henry in his 1st Regional did fantastic 2-4 out of pools. He then won his first DE. THEN upset the number 2 Seed!!! Let's Go Henry!! In the R8 he was ahead till the end... but lost.... however putting him on the Podium 8th out of 25!!!
On top of fencing at Regionals, Saige, Addy, Achiel, and Evan and Devan all got observed as referees and earned ratings so they can referee at the club events!! Add that to the Stress of Competing!! We are So Proud of them all!!
Wonderful weekend of learning, emotional struggle, laughter, bonding!!! And so much More!!
