Richmond NAC Results

5 fencers competing across 7 events!

Vet fencers: Jeff Kuhn competed in Vet50 and Vet combined in his first tournament since he's been back after a long break.
Coach Anna renewed her E in women's Vet combined.

Chase and Marsden fenced in Junior Men's epee. A first NAC for Chase and a personal best in pools for Marsden.

Arya fenced a first NAC in the flighted Junior Women's Epee event and made the cut to DEs.

Lots of good fencing, and Coach Paul found some ideas for new drills to keep everyone sharp.

We also found that the ceiling at the NAC has a spot like CBA so fencers were at home :) IYKYK

We are so proud of our Athletes - and love the wide age representation!
