Our high school fencing conference DUAL MEETS are now complete. Each of the various weapons forms a 3 person squad and these squads from each school face off against every other school in the conference. 16 schools scattered from Milwaukee through Chicago and down to Lowell. Lowell is the ONLY team without any paid coaches. We also do not get financial support from our school (but the administration is morally supportive of our team)
My Girls Saber squad is one of the best in the conference. They only lost to 3 schools, those 3 have professional coaches. At least 2 of those teams fence the entire school year and the 3rd has a secondary club where their kids fence year round. My kids only fence for 1/3rd of the year. Depending upon how it all plays out with the other schools, my girls could (possibly) take 3rd place. I think its safe to say that they secured at least 4th place. We will find out the official results in a few weeks.
I think we could have beaten at least 1 of the teams we lost to but my team captain, and best fencer, was out for 1/2 this season with a concussion & whiplash. As it was we only lost to that team by a couple touches
This is only our 4th year in as a team and I've got some amazing fencers! These 3 are my "A" team. Only 1 is a senior so 2/3rds of the squad returns next year to battle again.
No matter where they end up I'm really proud to be the coach of these girls
