Medals at the Lone Star Open

Congratulations to Blake Gordon and Chris Hill for their Medals at the Lone Star Open! Blake got the gold in both Youth 12 and Youth 14 Saber! To make things even better for the club Chris Hill got the Bronze in both those events too! The only thing that kept Chris from the gold medal bout in Youth 12 was that he had to fence Blake in the semi finals! Its always tough when you have to fence your own team members. I'll post some pictures as soon as I have them.

3 medals at the Adelman!


Another fantastic weekend for the club! Nick, Nathan, Mason, Cait, Olivia and Connor competed in the Adelman at Baylor University this weekend. Connor and Nathan tied for third place and Nick won the silver. Not too bad for a bunch of Middle and High school kids at a College tournament! Nathan had by far the toughest draw in the direct elimination where he drew two B rated fencers in a row! He defeated Ray Sexton to get into the top 4 but lost to Emilio Ybarra to get to the gold medal bout. It was a fantastic finish for him, and earned him a D rating!
