Great results at the National Championship again!
Congratulations to Blake Gordon for his fantastic finish in the Youth 12 Men's Saber event at the National Championship in Miami! Blake finished 6th out of 101 competitors. Blake also did great in the Youth 14 Saber where he finished 24th. Both those finishes will score him a lot of national points, so he should move way up the national rankings!
Blake wasn't the only one who did great at nationals though. Blake's sister Allie finished 32nd in the Women's Youth 12 Saber. Nathan Cho finished 17th in the Cadet Saber event and 28th in Division 2! Connor Gibson finished 18th in the Youth 14 Saber, and 44th in the Cadet Saber. Jason Meng finished 12th in the Youth 10 Saber event and 29th in the Youth 12 event. Arden Youngblood finished 37th in the Youth 14 Women's Saber, 38th in the Women's Cadet Saber event and 41st in the Women's Junior Saber. Her sister Avery finished 45th in the Youth 14 Women's Saber. Cait Schneider finished 35th in the Cadet Women's Saber and 59th in the Junior Women's Saber. Her brother Nick finished 30th in the Cadet Men's Saber. Mason Mitchell finished 40th in the Youth 14 Men's Saber and 58th in the Cadet Saber, and George Neal finished 49th in the Youth 14 Men's Saber.
And finally, this was the first year we sent a team for the Junior Team event, and we did great. Nick Schneider was team captain, and the rest of the team was Mason, Nathan and George. The team finished 13th after defeating the Knights of Siena team from South Carolina. We had a tough draw for the next match when we faced The Peter Westbrook Foundation. The Westbrook team ended up finishing 2nd by only one point! All in all it was a fantastic showing for our first time out as a team at Nationals.
So congratulations to all the kids who competed this year, congratulations to coach for the great job he does every week with the kids that makes these results possible, and a special thanks to all the parents who help make this possible for all the kids. Also parents, if you have any pictures from the event email them to me and I'll get them posted in our gallery.
