| Top 8 Div 1 Women's Saber
1 Emily Jacobson!!! (You go girl!!)
2 Amelia Galliard
3 Sada Jacobson
3 Louise Bond Williams
5 Alexis Jamal
6.Mariel Zagunis
7. Rebecca Ward
8. Emma Baratta
Heard that Eileen Grench fenced like a goddess and seems better than ever since her recovery making I am pretty sure (but not completely) the top 16.
Emily beat her very own sister, Sada, who must have been tired from the bout with Rebecca, who made her fight for that win.
Amelia fenced very well against Mariel to get into the top 4.
As far as everyone else, will find out later...
The top girls are close, very close, this should be an exciting year.

| Once she got to the top 16 something happened to make her STOP fencing like a goddess.  She lost to Vivian Imiazumi 15-6, then fenced in repachage against Emily Jacobson, and lost 15-12ish.

| Emily was sick to her stomach, and Sada sounded from the cough as if she was coming down with what Emily had started recovering from.
Peach fenced like a goddess in the first round (4&1!) and then her sciatica re-appeared in the second round of the Division I WS and she lost all her bouts using line only.
Oh, well, made it out of the first round.
In the Vet WS, having screwed up Becky Douville's seeding by beating her 5-0 in the pool, Peach met her in the round of 8 and went out 10-9. Robin Pernice won the event, defeating Becky in the gold medal bout.
Wheee.

Wheee. | At least some goddess fencing occured with both Peach and that Grench girl!!
Mental toughness is one thing but when your body is making you worry it can be very distracting.
Having been sick and having a kid sick the week before this meet, I figured the healthiest person would win or do very well. Sometimes being sick or injured before a meet relieves expectations and fencing, "better than your imagination will occur!"

| I know this isn't what you mean, but the Veteran MS was very interesting. Steve Mormando finally decided to fence Veterans (I assume because he's old enough to be eligible for the World Veterans). In the pools, he was relatively sedate, not doing any of his irritating delaying tactics; he just beat everybody. He started pulling out his clown act, I heard, in the semi-finals, and in the final bout with Ed Korfanty he was in full freak. Dangling body cords, waving line, sock-pulling-up, arguing with Terance Lasker over obvious calls, generally being a complete ***. The spectators were infuriated, but since many of the men in the competition have known Steve forever they weren't nearly as annoyed, and Ed of course kept his cool all the way through, and finally beat Steve 10-9, I believe. So this time class beat sass, but it was close--there was a call in the previous touch which looked backwards, and Steve really is a very good fencer who doesn't need to do a lot of what he does.

Viviani lost in the 8 to Bakos
OSU's new freshman Dennis Tolkolev(sp) finished 7th, losing to Sepulveda in the 8
Kelsey lost in the 24? to Sepulveda somewhere around 15-7, fought his way back into the final, loses to him again 15-8.
Forgive this being disjointed, I just got back 5 minutes ago after flying from Palm Springs at 4:30 yesterday, arriving in chicago via Seattle and Detroit with 3-5hr layovers in both. try changing a flight and being told "gee. we only have two flights going EAST today..." | |

| VMS
1 Korfanty
2 Mormando
3 Yung
4 Runyan
5 Pinkus
6 Jacobson
7 Reilly
8 Kovacs
Mo, how did Sada finish third when Emily beat her in the final bout? Wouldn't that have made her second? Is that a typo or is it some vagary of the repechage system?
The VMS final was bizarre. Both Mormando and Korfanty were giving an awful lot of point...looked like an epee bout at times. At one point they both sat there with points in line at each other for something like 20 seconds ( an eternity in sabre ), each waiting for the other to blink.
Ed drew a yellow card in one phrase for something I didn't catch. Steve objected, but the card was adjudged anyway, so at the next "Fence!" he turned his back and walked to the end of the strip so that he too would have a card and they could stay on equal footing. Strange, but cool.
Good tournament, but two pools and repechage makes for a loooooong day of fencing. Div I MS started around 9 am and finished up after 4 in the afternoon. I can only imagine what epee was like... | |

| Emily defeated Sada in the semi-final bout, not the final. Amelia Gaillard defeated Louise Bond-Williams to meet Emily in the final.

He's such a nice person, I really hope he makes the team.
