Houston Super Youth -- 5 Medals; 2 Gold!!

Nine Windy City fencers traveled to Houston for the Super Youth Circuit tournament. This is always one of the strongest SYCs in the country. Two Golds in Womens Epee! Samantha Perry was first in Y12; Mason Speta was first in Y14. Rebecca Rose had a great tournament, medalling in both Y12 (3d) and Y14 (7th). Harrison MacRae medalled (5th) in Y12 as well.

March Windy City Tournament

We turned out in great numbers for our March tournament. Would like to see more epee youth from other clubs!

In Y14, Mason Speta was first over (good-friend-of-the-club) Waleed Aldadah from Peoria. Samantha Perry and Nicolas Levy were 3d. In Y12, Luke Clohisy (1st); Joe Taylor (2d); Rebecca Rose (3d); and Arpad Neale (3d) all had great days. Y10 was won by Oliver Schindler over Joe Taylor; Getty Hill and Augustus Post were 3d. In the Open, Ian Lindblom was 3d.
