Youth fencing

The 2009 Crossroads Youth Classic yesterday featured 65 fencers, representing eleven clubs from five states. Two observations:
  • Once again, DMFC's volunteers stepped up and did an excellent job. They were hampered by a couple of poor scheduling decisions (in particular, I should not have put Y12 foil and Y14 foil so close together) but pulled things off as best they could.
  • It was my honor to referee the Y14 foil final between William Wharton of Twin Cities Fencing Club and Ryan Zimmerman of Kanza Fencing Club. Both young men put on a clinic; the score was tight, the fencing smart and clean. My one regret was that I didn't think to record a video to share here.
Photos appear in DMFC's photo site. Enjoy!
