Nevada Champsionships
June 27 - 28, 2009


General Event Information

Red Rock Fencing Center saw two solid days of fencining over the
last weekend in June 2009. The room was filled with fencers,
the sound of clashing weapons, shouts of victory, applaush and
cheers. Because of distance and timing the event was dominated
by two southern Nevada clubs: Red Rock Fencing Center and Fencing
Academy of Nevada. Fencers of all sizes, shapes, talents, genders,
and ages showed up to do battle. This was a seniors event though,
so no junior or cadet events. Although it seemed like chaos, with
all the strips being used at various times, guests and fencers
alike ceaselessly moving around the room, the event came off with
almost no hitches.

The events included:
  • Mens Individual Epee
  • Mens Team Epee
  • Womens Individual Epee
  • Womens Team Epee
  • Mens Individual Foil
  • Mens Team Foil
  • Womens Individual Foil
  • Womens Team Foil
  • Mens Individual Sabre
  • Mens Team Sabre
  • Womens Individual Sabre
  • Womens Team Sabre

    Total Mens Individual Epee Fencers 23

    Twenty-three senior male epee fencers joined the
    fray on Sunday to battle for the championship. Both
    Red Rock and Fencing Academy of Nevada turned out
    in numbers. This event was by far the best attended.
    The contestants were divided into four pools. The
    room was filled with epee fencers. Especially since
    the womens epee was going on at the same time. The
    quality of fencing was of the highest order with
    six "A" rated fencers, one "B", one "C", four "D"s,
    five "E"s and six unrated fencers. The final outcome
    was that Frank won and got his "A" rating renewed
    for the next four years!
