Salle Mauro Shows Excellence in RYC #1Houston was host to the
first Regional Youth Circuit (RYC) of the season on
The RYC consisted of 18
events: foil, epee, and saber in men’s and women’s Y-10, Y-12, and
Y-14. Most these events were fenced mixed (only Y-12 and Y-14 epee
being separate events) with separate medal ceremonies. Salle Mauro
fencers medaled in 15 of the 18 events (with no fencers in 2 and a
near miss in the third) and had a dominating performance in the Y-14
foil with 6 of 8 finalists in the men’s (including gold, silver, and a
bronze) and the gold in the women’s as well. No club matched this
performance in any other event. Most importantly, our fencers showed poise in victory and defeat. While emotions ran high, our fencers fought through all their bouts and showed good sportsmanship. Club mates cheered for each other, helped coach each other, shared equipment and snacks, and showed our club to lead the region in class. The coaches are proud of all our fencers from this weekend. With continued hard work in practice and dedication to winning right, our results can only improve through the season. Our coaches feel we have the best fencers in the nation and look forward to proving it at more tournaments throughout the year. Finally, the coaching staff
would like to thank those parents who have supported and thanked us.
Several of you have written us very nice notes thanking our efforts.
