Dear Team,
Excellent job on the fencing at the Blake meet. We left the meet around 6 pm and they were still fencing the last round! Since we left early we did not get the results sheets yet. We watched so many of our fencers do incredibly well Saturday! We are very torn about who to award Meet MVP to! The bar has been raised for a lot of you!
To those who stuck it out and got a lot of fencing in, I hope you had fun. To those who stuck it out and did not get a lot of fencing in, we are truly sorry for the long periods of nothing, the delays, and the long day. Had I known it would be similar to last year I would not have told everyone they needed to be there. As after last year's meet they are again asking for help and suggestions. I was very honest about it being difficult to get our fencers and parents behind it again. As it stands we will not be requiring everyone (or anyone) to attend the Blake Meet next year. I am making several suggestions (which I won't bore you with the details about) that wil hopefully make it run smoother. But we will not require anyone to go until they prove they can make run smoothly. Thank you to all of you who passed on your kind words about how well Jenni and her sister, Laura, run the SPA Invitational. We think the team event could be a great time for the kids. For some Saturday was a blast. For many it was just long. Enough of that now! We have Shattuck to look forward to!
Jenni and Bob and Bob
