Div III in Reno

[Purple Fencer]

Just outta curiosity, did anyone watch the finals of the men's Div III? Myu teammate, Grady Hutt won it all...15-2! His opponent came from Rhode Island -- an awful long way to go to get that kind of a hammering!

Grady showed me a video of the bout. After he'd landed 5 or 6 touches, it was clear his opponent basically gave up. Grady didn't back off at all (perhaps remembering my prime inspirational bout, Golubitsky/Kim, '91 WC), and took it all, getting his "C" and the hardware!

Not bad for a guy who only stared competing 18 months ago.

That's 97 WC.

I always feel bad for the people who are in the gold medal bout in the events right as the tournament closes. They don't get a huge crowd. Was it near the end and that's why noone's replying? That would be terrible to get crushed like that in the gold medal bout.

Doh! You'd think I'd get that one right...I use it often enough! Thanks, Eric.

Did you ever get ahold of Al Carter, BTW!

Personally, I'm always thrilled if I get far enough to get crushed in the gold medal bout! Nothing like the perspective one gets from having finished last now and then. . .

True! I shouldn't have said that ... it would be cool just to get there.
