This past weekend in Concord, Seacoast fencers won both Y14 Epee events to qualify for the Summer National Championships in Texas, and qualified two others as well. Nicole Chiang fenced extremely well, competing in four events over the two days, and qualifying in all four. She was first in the Y14 Women’s Epee, and second in the other three: U16 Women’s Foil, U16 Women’s Epee, and Y14 Women’s Foil. 12 year old Peter Shellenberger won the Y14 Men’s Epee, finishing a great season in youth epee. In the Y14 Men’s Foil, twin brothers Jacob and Aaron Pentheny finished second and third, respectively, and thereby qualifed for the Nationals as well. We are awaiting word from the National Office on a rules clarification on the automatic qualifier status of two other fencers, which could qualify two other fencers, Ryleigh Lorimer in Y14 Women’s Foil, and Addis Gregory in Y14 Men’s Foil (both finished fourth in their events). Congratulations to all the Seacoast Fencers competing this weekend!
