| The Russina Revolution tournament was a blast. The facility is awesome. 14 strips set up and ready to go. I really think that this should be used at the site for the sectional championships every year but as we all know politics would get in the way of that happening. Kevin had top honors by coming in 3rd. He lost to Bryan Cheny 15-13. It was a great bout to watch and Bryan went on to win the gold. Philip had an impressive 14-15 match with Jacabson that he lost on the last point. Warren and Eli did good. Eli beat the A in his pool and finally realized that confidence that you can win means everything. Mike and Blake have had better tournaments but still made place 9th and 11th. We go to meet a lot of old friends who Blake hasn't seen in years. Ni was there and it was funny watching her ref sabre. Blake and her were on the Olympic Festival team together in St. Louis in 1994. She was a foil fencer though! In all the trip was worth as Eli put it "We drove 4 hours, fenced for 4 hours and drove back for 4 hours. Wow, we drove twice as much as we fenced" Blakes only reply to Eli was, "Welcome to the wonderful world of fencing" |
