Fences With Wolves – Results
June 4, 2013
Fences with Wolves was a howling success! Thanks to all the organizers, referees, families, fencers, and friends who made this youth tournament run so smoothly. DC Fencers Club hosted the June 2 event, and DCFC members came away with 10 medals at this youth tournament, including a club sweep of the gold, silver, and bronze medals in the Y14 event.
DCFC member Jacob Asher founded Fences With Wolves in 2012 to raise funds for the Wolf Project of the Yellowstone Park Foundation, which tracks the travel habits of wolves in the park.
Now in its second year, the tournament featured epee contests in the Youth 10, Youth 12, and Youth 14 categories. Sixty eight boys and girls arrived from area fencing clubs in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC, and some hailed from fencing clubs in Philadelphia, PA and Westchester, NY.
For each event, fencers who placed in the top eight received medals and special wolf-themed prizes.
Youth fencers received sponsors who pledged donations based on points earned during the tournament. After the competition, individuals who sponsored youth fencers will receive an email with their pledge amount and a link for online donation. Visit Jacob’s page at the Yellowstone Wolf Project to track the latest fundraising news or to make a donation.
By week's end, sponsors of youth fencer will receive an email with their pledge amount and a link for online donation. Visit Jacob’s page at the Yellowstone Wolf Project to track the latest fundraising news or to make a donation.
