Great results at the Longhorn!

The club had another great weekend at the Longhorn open At UT in Austin. Congratulations to everyone who took part. In the women's Saber event Cait Schneider and Olivia Trotter tied for third. It was an especially good finish for Olivia because she earned her D rating! In the Men's Saber event Nathaniel Cho finished 3rd, Connor Gibson was 5th, Nick Schneider was 7th, George Neil finished 13th, and Mason Mitchell was 23rd. Nathaniel earned his C rating in the open event. In the D and under mixed Saber event Connor Gibson got the Silver medal, Mason Mitchell and Nathaniel Cho tied for third and George Neil finished 8th. Mason Mitchell earned his D with his 3rd place finish! 9 medals and 3 new ratings is one heck of a good weekend I would say!
