Thank you to everyone who followed directions and stayed to clean up. Many of you fenced very well and exceeded your expectations for yourself. We did a good job, but we have a lot of work to do if we'd like to win States. We need to have at least 2 fencers in the top 4 of each event and 1 more in the top 8 if we want a chance in winning.
