Congratulations to the many Seacoast Fencers who have earned medals at our many Divison Championships this past weekend!

Our Champions so far:  The U-19 Men’s Foil Team (Cole Davis, Andrew Soule-Hinds, Ethan Miller, and Ian Hocking).  This was one of only two contested U-19 team events. 

In the Y-14 Championship, we swept women’s foil, with Alex Van De Water winning, and Victoria Kerkhove second, and Kate Cavanaugh third.  Kate Cavanaugh was the champion in women’s epee, and Victoria Kerkhove was second.  In men’s foil, Yang Tang took first, and John Wolfe was third.  In men’s epee, Yang Tang was second, and Tristan Strauss was third.  Seacoast Y-14 fencers took three gold, three silver, and three bronze- half the medals awarded!  All these fencers qualify for the National Championships in Atlanta, GA this Summer. 

In Y-12, Alex Husslage was the gold medalist, with teammate Kelsey Kimball taking silver.  In Y-10 mixed foil, William Collibee was third.

Our Open Team Championships ended with Secoast teams taking second in all three contested events, with three different clubs taking the gold.  Our teams were men’s epee (Scott Eriksen, Tom Ronan, and Ethan Miller); men’s foil (Cole Davis, Kevin Eriksen, and Ron Raiselis); and women’s epee (Kerry Walton, Danielle Haddad, and Maureen Anderson). 

A special thanks to our blasts from the past, former national champions Kevin and Scott Eriksen, and their cousin, Kerry Walton, who came out that day to fence for their alma mater, Seacoast Fencing Club.  It was great to have them fence for us again!
