The U.S. Fencing Summer Nationals were in Grapevine, Texas this year. I just got back from a week of competition and I'm happy with my results. I competed in both the individual events and the Junior Women's Eppe Team event.
My results from this past year's national competitions earned me a place as the youngest team member on the Northwest Fencing Center's Junior Women's Epee team. Junior team members are all under age twenty.
Each team includes three fencers and an alternate. There were a total of seventeen teams nationally that competed against each other at the U.S. Fencing Summer Nationals, the final event for the 2008/2009 fencing season. We won the Gold Medal!
In individual fencing events, I earned a medal with a 6th place win (medals are for the top eight finishers) in my age group Cadet - Under age 17 in the Cadet Women's Epee event.
Thanks to all of my coaches and teammates.
Here are some photos of me and my team from Northwest Fencing Center.
