EBFG started off this year’s NAC season strong with several top place finishes including a gold medal at this season’s first NAC in St. Louis, MO.

Camille Esnault took home the bronze medal in the DIV2 Women’s Épée event, another great finish after her podium finish at last season’s summer nationals.  Camille’s brother Kevin Esnault also made a strong run finishing 47th in DIV1 Men’s Épée.
