Welcome back to the Fencing Club and the start of a new semester. As a reminder, practices are 4 - 6pm on both Mondays and Tuesdays in HEC 110.
Our competitive fencers went to Green Bay last weekend and did extremely well. Mark Juetten took 3rd out of 10 in Foil, Christopher Robbins took 3rd out of 8 in Epee, Nick Gengler took 6th out of 10 in Sabre, and Danielle Reed took 10th out of 10 in Foil. Congratulations to all of you!
This Spring's equipment order will be February 9th - 17th. More information about the equipment order will be coming out once we begin practices.
Our first movie night of the semester will be on Monday February 9th, right after practice. We will be hosting the movie night in the IMC of the library. We will be watching "Scaramouche" (1952). It stars Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Janet Leigh, Mel Ferrer, and many others. It's a great romantic comedy with some of the best and longest sword duels in the history of Hollywood. I hope to see you there!
I hope everyone is enjoying their breaks! Remember, practices start again on Monday January 26th. Practices will be 4 - 6pm on both Mondays and Tuesdays in HEC 110.
Christopher Robbins spent last weekend fencing in the Twin Cities at the 50th Chris Brown Memorial tournament. He did incredibly well, taking 9th out of 20 places. He was just a couple points away in his last bout from earning his E rating. Congratulations Christopher! You can find the complete results at the link here.
