For those of you who attended our Tounament in Louisville, thanks for coming and fencing! We had a really good turnout despite the Easter weekend, and we plan on hosting another one next year.

Currently we are scheduled in March, 2010, but we are looking at moving to December 10th-12th to avoid conflicts with other SYC events.

For those of you who fenced, photos are now available On Line

Louisville Super Youth Fencing results

On April 10th, 11th & 12th, The Grand Ballroom of Gault Convention Center was the host of the 2009 Louisville Super Youth Tournament.

Windy City Fencing sent a team of nine fencers to compete. One must conclude that WCF had a great weekend

Samamta Perry was on fire, taking Gold medals in both Y 12 and Y 14.

Harrison MacRae brought home a gold for his Y 12 victory as well as getting points in his Y14 event.

Harrison Rogers got Bronze medal in Y10.

Emma Malueg got bronze at Y14 girls

At the last minute Y10 woman's Epee was called off, otherwise WCF would likely have seen Ms. Lavia take home a gold.

Arpad Nealy placed 8th in Y 12.

Lane Lubell was seated 2nd going into the Y12 event but had to drop out as a result of his father forgeting to chew his food.

Dante Lavia and Lane Lubell both competed in the Y 14 event. August Malueg faced a tough pool and really fenced great.

A few week ago, Dante got 6th in the Super Youth competition in San Jose, Ca and made Summer Nationals 09 .CONGRATS TO ALL ....

The next big stop for WCF is the NAC (North American Cup) in Portland.

We will have 13 fencers there to fence in Y10, Y12 and Y14. Mason Speta will also be competing Div 1.

The compitition at a NAC is always fierce; so all fencers will have have to work extra hard.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL.....TSANKO
