USFA - National Championships - 2009
Congratulations to all of our Dunwoody FC fencers who competed at the 2009 Nationals!
In a field composed of the top 25% of fencers in the nation, our fencers fenced strong and represented our club well. I am very proud of
all of you.
The Highlights:
Eric Funk began the competition with a top 32 finish in Y14 mens epee earning National points. He then fenced to a top 16 finish in Cadet mens epee earning his "B" rating and taking a spot on the Cadet National points standings. He finished the competition earning the Bronze Medal in Div. II mens epee and re-earning his "B" rating. Eric is now an automatic qualifier for Cadet and for Div IA at Nationals in 2010. Way to fence, Eric!
Rachael Jay fenced her way to a top 32 finish earning National points in Y14 womens epee. She was the highest finisher from the Georgia Division and the second highest in the SE Section.
Derek Murphy made the top 32 in Div II mens epee finishing 20th in a strong field.
Bailey Scent had a strong top 32 finish in Div III mens epee taking the 23rd slot
Bruce Vail made the top 32 in Div IA mens epee. Later in the week, Bruce passed his second level of USFCA coaching certification under the watchful eye of Coach Salem
John Powell finished in the top 64 in Div III mens epee
Parker Williams finished in the top 64 in Cadet mens epee
Matt Anderson fought hard against a strong field in his first Div IA event
Adrian Funk was our highest finisher in youth epee
Fencing in their first National Championships, Aaron Ackerman, Laura Anderson, Jimmy Wallace and Julie Zhang all represented our club well. I look for good things in the future from them!
Our Senior mens team (Vail, Cole, Anderson, Funk) earned a creditable 26th place finish in the Senior event
Our Junior mens team (Funk, Anderson, Powell) fenced to 20th place in the Junior event
