The latest on our friend Jack:

After another successful weekend on home soil, Jack has now propelled himself to the #5 spot on the Great Britain Cadet points list, and sits at #24 on the Great Britain Junior Points list.

Finishing 7th (over 100 fencers total) overall and first out of the cadets, Jack went from #21 on the cadet list to #5. The BSC Tournament allowed him enough points to make his debut on the Junior points list.

If y'all think Davis has been waiting patiently to fence Jack again, think about those British fencers. They are so not happy. Especially the guy at the bottom of the Cadet World Cup Team who might be losing his spot to our Jack!

Congratulations Jack on a Job Well Done!!!

Jack just came back from the UK, and fenced in their 5th national point meet. He was ranked 21st in cadet after participating in one this summer.

There were 100 in the junior meet, and the top 38 point holders had a bye. A round of pools were fenced, and then the fencers were reseeded. Jack was 1 after the pools and went into the second round of pools 39th. He came out 18th, and made the top 8, placing 7th. He lost to the top Junior in the UK.

He is 14, and going through a growth spurt. He does pretty well locally, (ask Jett about the last 3 GC tournaments). He currently is 5th in Cadet and 24th in Junior despite only participating in 2 of their 5 qualifiers.

The UK coach was banging on his conditioning, but after flying over and having jet lag I can think other things a 14 year old can worry about in a Junior event.

Congrats Jack.

FOR WHATEVER REASON KBs POST DID NOT SHOW UP. SORRY FOR THE REPOST.

Jack recently got 9th in the Junior British Nationals. He was not as successful in the Cadet. There is no weight or shim test, and the grounded strips testing are an issue.

They also used the Junior ladies as directors and a few of them forgot the score in DEs. Tough when you lose the several touches in a 15-14 bout.

He can't go to the Bobcat, because he will be in Bonn, Germany. Three years of Cadet World Cups is a great experience for a 14 year old. Sorry Davis, you don't get any chance for redemption.

I think he is 4th Cadet and 19th Junior despite only 2 of the 5 national events.

In Germany, Jack made the 2nd day. There were about 400 signed up for Cadet Epee.

I know that only 5 of the 17 GBR fencers made it that far. It will be interesting how well he does, and not bad if he has 2 more years.
