Deerthug Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I received a great birthday present today. I found out that my daughter is ranked #4 out of 100 foil fencers in all of Nassau County High Schools. She's the 4th girl listed below: I'm a very proud Dad! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainHunter Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Has she made applications to colleges? With some schools fencing can be a nice boost for acceptance if she intends to compete in college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adkbuck Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Congratulation Deerthug. I don't blame you for being proud. I read that it takes "two lifetimes to master" the sport or art of fencing . It sounds like your daughter is well on her way. There is certainly more to it than meets the eye of the non-swordsman. You know it is also very nice to hear about young people learning to do something difficult instead of just working keyboards and electronic displays. A belated happy birthday to you!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerthug Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thank you for all the congrats but they all go to my daughter. Today we spent all day at Garden City HS for indivdual competitions and after all was said and done she came in 5th out of the 20 top elite foils but she remains 4th All-County! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
