It's been a very successful week for Green Bay High School's Fencers!

Green Bay High School students came away with some great results, during recent regional and international competitions.

International: Congratulations to James Price (Year 13) who travelled with the New Zealand team to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, for the Asian Zone under 20s. James was the top performing NZ Men’s Epeeist, and the only one to make it through to the second round of the competition. Winning half of his 6 bouts in the first stage of poules, James then went through to the second round as 33rd seed out of 74 tough competitors - with a final placing of 45th, after Direct Elimination bouts.

Regional: During the recent Fencing North Competition, Green Bay High School's Fencing team won 3 of the 4 epee titles. This competition is one of the main age-banded Fencing North competitions for the year and involves ranking points (used for National ranking).

Congratulations to:

• U17 Boys: 1st Jack Hansen (Year 12), 5th Travis West-Hill (Year 11)
• U17 Girls: 1st Elsie Lins (Year 13), 3rd Olivia Woolford (Year 11)
• U15 Girls: 1st Olivia Woolford (Year 11)
• U15 Boys: 5th Arthur Thompson (Year 10)

These fencers have been training hard, and have some exciting out-of-Auckland competition plans for this season and are looking forward to the upcoming National U15/U17s, held on 22 & 23 April.
