Had the Great Lakes High School Fencing Conference Championships yesterday. They were held at the University of Chicago. Left home at 6:20am, got back home at 9:30pm ... too long of a day.
But it was a good day.
My saber student Lexi won a medal.
Then she earned a USFA national ranking.
And then, to cap off the day, she was awarded the All Conference Sportsmanship Award ... which is given by the coaches to the most outstanding overall fencer in the conference and is based on both quality of fencing and the quality of the human. It is the highest award in the conference.
