Epee day


Noah had a rough day yesterday at the Tampa Youth Fencing event. He was fencing in a Y12 (12 and under) epee event.  Equipment problems and tough competition made for some very interesting fencing.  The highlight of the day was when Noah beat the number one seed--and eventual gold medalist--in their first DE encounter (5-1).  Ultimately, the older, larger competitors won the day.  Noah enjoyed the competition; it was a good workout with several fencers he hadn't seen before.
