The Senior categories of fencing (ages 15 to 99) held the Ontario Provincial Championships at the Queen Elizabeth Building, Canadian National Exhibition grounds over the past weekend after two years almost to the day of suspension of fencing in Ontario.
Our athletes did remarkably well with two provincial champions, two silvers and three bronze medals. Leading the way was Ellie Davies, still a Y14 athletes, winning women's Junior (ages 17-20), second in cadet (15 -17) and second in senior women's foil (20 and up). Blake Degroot is the cadet men's champion and second in junior men's foil. Spencer Orr was defeated by clubmate Degroot in both events in taking bronze in cadet and junior. Scott Bell added to the podium finishes with his bronze in veterans foil (age 40 and up).
Clubmates shook off two years of tournament rust and had great tournaments with personal bests and in some cases, the first real tournament ever. Congratulations to Nathan McMillan, Dylan Shi, Calvin Klages, Ewan Peterson and Anna Houston for their results. Each fenced well.
