On the whole, to capture the bronze medal is really what we wanted. Especially since we graduated 75 percent of last year's team. It was quite an improvement against some very difficult teams. Huntington and Brentwood brought back their entire team from last year. Overall it was a good day.

The most amazing thing is that the whole thing happened. It is wonderful in that our children and grandchildren can now enjoy the environmental benefits of cleaner water and a natural habitat for generations to come. And you can see that people are happy as they walk down Trustees Road.

I thought that we fenced well. We didn't lose to any one team except Ward Melville. We finished behind Brentwood because they won so decisively over their other opponents and most of our matches were very close.
