Mason Speta came in 3rd in the Y14 Woman’s
In Y10 epée the Silver medal went to August Malueg and theBronze was won by Arpad Neale
One of the directors of the event made a comment praising both the competitors as well as their parents for really acting as a teem and supporting one an other.It was clear that not only did Windy City dominate the competition; we were also the heart of the social aspect of the event. It seems at each event the number of fencers from other clubs that seem to be hanging out in the windy city circle grows.
