Black Widow Tournament Scares Up Some Winners

We’ve got some spooky news over the weekend. At the Black Widow Tournament on Sunday, three of our fencers went out for blood!

I heard Erin gave some of the best Epee fencers there a lot of trouble. She scored 13 in her DE to Natasha who went on to win the Bronze.

Zoe, meanwhile, scared up a 6th place in the Women’s Foil, and took home the Silver Medal in the Y14 Women to add to her collection! My crystal ball predicts a few golds in the Spring of 2012 if not before!!

Alas, George was not in a generous mood that day. She gave out no treats but did lots of tricks. Enough, in fact, to keep her undefeated the entire day and take home the Gold Medal (special prize) in the Women’s Foil.

She also earned her D ranking! Question is, does she get her C next or skip right to a B?

Let’s here some blood curdling cheers for them all of them!
