🏆🤺 Kroc Fencing Academy Brings Home Gold! 🤺🏆

Congratulations to Liz Heroux for taking 1st Place at the LA Div 3 Weapon Open with E & U Foil on October 17 in New Orleans! Her outstanding performance earned her an E rating, the first official rating awarded to fencers who place well in a sanctioned competition. 🎉

We'd also like to celebrate Coach Colin Miner, who captured 1st Place in a field of 16 fencers! Colin competes with a C rating, recognizing him as an established and highly skilled regional-level fencer. 💪

We're proud to see both our athletes representing the Kroc Fencing Academy with excellence on and off the strip. Join us in congratulating Liz and Coach Colin on their incredible achievements! 👏🥇

Huge thanks to Mississippi Forestry Commission, Biloxi Fire Department, and Smokey Bear for teaching our Fall Camp kids all about fire safety and prevention.

The kids asked plenty of great questions, toured a fire truck and got some bear hugs! 🐻
