Super Youth on Long Island
Two Seacoast fencers participated in the Super Youth Tournament at Mission Fencing on Long Island this past weekend. Super Youth meets are where the best fencers in the country (and Canada) compete to earn national points. Nicole Chiang fenced extremely well, finishing fifth in Y14 Women’s Epee (not her primary weapon!), just missing the final four by one touch. She finished 12th in Y14 Women’s Foil, losing in the round of 16 to the number one seed, and eventual winner. Nicole earned national points in both events. Pete Shellenberger fenced well, and was 15th in Y14 Men’s Epee, also losing to the number one seed. Congratulations to both Seacoast fencers.
