I was nominated for, and won, a regional award for fencing. Now all the regional winners are up for a national award.
The regional award is a merit award for based on contributions to the sport fencing community. The national winner is mostly a popularity contest because most fencing students only compete regionally. I'm the only person from Indiana to ever make it this far in the annual awards, I'm also the 2nd oldest person up for the award.
