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.
