CFFA Update 1.11.26
RESULTS
We have a couple of fencers at the Junior Olympics in Kansas City, Patrick Gadow and Jackson Jones. They fence today and tomorrow, so I will update everyone after they have finished their events this week.
IMPORTANT DEADLINES
The Divisional II/III and Y14 National Qualifiers are now up on askfred. Even though the Nationals are in Portland, this should be a good event to attend. The event is March 21-22, and registration closes on March 15. The events are still pretty sparse except for the Div II Men’s foil.
The 17th of January will be the individual qualifying/seeding round for the High School League Championship in Greensboro on the 21st of February. High School foilists and epeeists(non-homeschool) can participate if you want to see how you stack up against the better high school foilists and epeeists in the Eastern part of the state. However, none of you (except for James and Jackson) have participated in enough events that you can advance to the finals. Let me know if you are interested.
The 31st is the next Homeschool/Pisacafe event, in Greensboro. Start getting signed up as registration closes on January 28th.
CLUB UPDATES
Things are getting back to normal after the break. Club practice Tuesday and Thursday night. Afterschool on Monday and Wednesday at 3:30 pm and Homeschool on Wednesday at 1 pm. No afterschool next Monday (MLK Day).
I don’t see anyone other than Herman for the Cincinnati NACs. It doesn’t look like anyone close is holding an event on that Saturday (February 14). That would make it possible to hold one of our club age 12 and under events. Let me know if people 12 and under are up for an event on February 14.
Our upcoming events are now up on askfred. The Old Man Winter on January 24 needs bodies, particularly in foil and Vet epee to get people interested. There are only a few spots left for the open epee. The Lynn Krupey Memorial Iron Maiden is on March 7, and the Stab-a-thon is on April 18.
We will be hosting the state High School team Championships on February 7th. I will want to try to enlist some help with set up/tear down and maybe some help with refereeing. (foil and epee)
