Grats to the following:

• 1 O’Hara, Casey

• 25T McCandless, Kelly

All in all I think we did we did very, very well. =)

SSC attended a local epee tourney in San Jose On Aug 26th.

Grats to Kaelyn who took the Gold in Women’s Epee, and the Silver in mixed epee! Dave Mulligan was 3/1 in pools, was seeded 4th, and placed in the top 8. Jack Vevea competed strongly, giving as good as he got, all on a broken toe!

I was proud of all three  students. They really gave ’em hell up there =)

Kindest thoughts always to our team-mate Luke and his lovely family.
