More results from Houston

Congratulations to Blake Gordon, who finished 7th in the Men's Saber at the Southwest Section Circuit Cup!
Also congratulations to Cait, who won the Women's Saber event! If anyone has a picture from the event please post it. I wasn't able to attend on Sunday so I didn't get a picture from the medal presentation.

First place in the Youth 12 Saber at the Southwest Section Circuit Cup in Houston!

Jason had a fantastic day in Houston! He went undefeated through the pools to seed first, and ended up taking home the first place trophy!

More results from Poland!

The team events were yesterday, The U.S.A fielded 3 teams all of them made the top 8! Nathan fenced on U.S.A 3, which finished 7th. They had a buy their first round and then defeated a Hungarian team 45 to 38! Their next bout was against U.S.A 1, who defeated them and then went on to fence a Russian team. They lost to the Russians 45 to 42 and had to fence U.S.A 2 for the bronze. U.S.A 1 defeated U.S.A 2 45 to 36. The Russians that defeated U.S.A 1 took the gold. Over all thats a fantastic showing for all three teams! It must have been hard work for Waldek too, having to coach 3 teams at the same time, and having them fence each other twice in direct eliminations! So congratulations to team U.S.A and a special thanks to Waldek for all his great coaching!
