Ok, roll call time.

I'll be there w/ the RU team. Who else is going?

Oh and if I have internet access while there I'll post what results I can get.

Couldn't make the event this year.

[keropie]

I'll be up there coaching, but not competing, with the UNC team.

[noodle]

Couldn't make the event this year.

couldn't make the event this year because the date was changed and we weren't informed directly, only indirectly after it was too late, you mean.

[MHS Fencer]

I plan on being there.

[great bowyer]

i might be there. not sure though, have been very busy with school and have not really fenced since last spring.

[whtouche]

I really wanted to go this year, but unfortunately I've got too many other things going on, both academically and in running the team here.

[AndrewH]

Sorry to hear you won't be there...

[RebelFencer]

Hopefully my school reinstates our gross overfundage for next year so that I'll be able to hit this one and Temple....(sorry oiuyt, I really wanted to make it!)

[Skeletorsnell]

I'm new to the forum but I wont be at the PSU but my team will be, Go Cleveland State University fencers

[rustica]

Some of the Ohio State team will be there, and some of the Notre Dame team will be there. Anybody know why they moved it from the end of November to this weekend? So far as I know, the Max Garrett Open has always been near the end of November! Guess I was counting on it.

Was originally the weekend of 11/12-13. When the Junior/Cadet NAC landed on that weekend it was deemed too much of a conflict (the Junior World Cup with bounced year-to-year between conflicting with the Penn State Open and the Temple Open wasn't too big a conflict). Moving later wasn't an option (Northwestern's big multi-meet the following weekend, then Thanksgiving). Moving earlier there was the Temple Open (which couldn't be moved due to other events at Temple), then a home football game (and all the full hotels that entails), so it had to shift 3 weeks earlier than scheduled (and originally announced).

Hot, wireless internet. I'll post what results I know tomorrow night (for the women's).

[Kurtosis]

Looking forward to hearing the results, AndrewH! Thanks! Will you be able to post the men's results Sunday night, too?

Skeletorsnell, I'm with you: Go Cleveland State University fencers! (I'm an alum)

[AndrewH]

Ok:

foil
1. Cross
2. Thompson

sabre
1. Thompson
2. Kuzniak
3. Grench
4. Providenza

left before the epee DE's started.
I can post men's results tomorrow night after I get home, we're leaving directly after we finish.

[fixxmyweapon]

went and wasn't thrilled with how wf was run. the fact that we had fourty some odd people and the cut to the 2nd round of pools went down to 24 rather than 36 was not awesome. other than that, it was wonderful as always. excited to watch the guys tomorrow. see some of ya there

[AndrewH]

Same with w. sabre, only 2 pools, but you know it kind of makes sense, why run an entire round of pools just to cut like the bottom 7 people?

Anyway i'll be fencing tomorrow, i'm sure you'll see me around.

Here's a link to the women's results:

And i'm home.

I don't remember that much from the mens foil results, I believe the winner was a polish guy, last name starts with a J, I'm sure the foilists know who i'm talking about. Ellis was top 4 also and that's all I remember.

As for sabre:
1. Hagamen
2. Momselidze
3. Boghicev
4. Ghattas
5-8: Paul, Reblewski, Stearns, Igoe

I believe i finished 14th...

We left before the epee top 8 was done, but from what I saw:
1-4: Solomon, Urman, etc
5-8: Henderson, Sherrill, etc
