Junior Olympic Qualifiers
Seacoast had a great weekend at the qualifiers for the Junior Olympics. Our U-17 women won both contested events, with Kate Cavanaugh winning the epee (she also qualified in foil), and Alex Van De Water winning the foil, and also qualifying in U-20 foil with a third place finish. Yang Tang, training exclusively in foil, was the upset silver medalist in U-17 men’s epee, and will be joining the team at the JO’s in February. Our other medal winners were Tom Ronan, second in U-20 men’s epee, John Wolfe, third in U-17 foil, and Victoria Kerkhove, third in foil. Our other qualifiers were Cole Davis in U-20 men’s foil, and Andrew Soule-Hinds in U-20 men’s epee. My thanks go out to all the Seacoast fencers who participated this weekend, and congratulations to all eight qualifiers. Good luck in Denver!
