Celebrating the winning touch with a simple fist pump, Elena Tringa capped a career in which she became one of the most decorated girls fencers in Garden City history.
Tringa finished the season with a 37-1 record as she defeated Cold Spring Harbor's Olivia Curry, 5-1, in the sabre final at yesterday's Nassau Individual Fencing Championships. The senior captain became a three-time county champion and the only girls sabre champion in Garden City history.
Tringa worked hard this season on improving certain aspects of her approach, one of which was masking her aggression.
"She was much calmer this year," said Garden City coach Michael Kreidman. "That's not to say she was out of her mind as a junior, but this year she was very relaxed."

Either you are unaware or just angry , either way STOP YELLING! I case of a tie record and split decision, head to head, Suffolk uses margin of victory to decide who represents Suffolk at the LI Championships. Note: The League Champion is the team that represents Suffolk at the Championships. They do not include any results from the Counties There is your example. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I never said anything BAD about Brian. All I said was if EVERYONE in the gym saw Fishler hooked up and Brian didnt, thats HIS problem. Youre the one using bad language in your post, not me. Are you okay??? Go take a break. Secondly, I think all GC AND GNS fencers are fabulous and I wish them all best of luck!!! (as I have already said) Thirdly arent you the one that did not get all your stuff together to be the coach at GNS this year? So dont talk about order and rules when you have none yourself. Stop arguing with me and making me seem "immature" when I am simply STATING FACTS and OBSERVATIONS. You dont know what rules were used either everyone else is proing you wrong anyway. Any further remarks from you towards me will be ignored going forward because YOU cant comprehend, not me and because I am not immature, you are just stuck in your own little day dream ... wake up its the real world. Good day to all. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well lets just all settle down. For some reason, the fencing coaches in Nassau are very sensitive. Some of them were/are great fencers. What we have here is the proverbial "failure to comminicate". If Robert was a head of the Nassau coaches last year, somebody else this year, and there are several different rulebooks flying around and being applied, then WE have a problem that bickering here will not solve. The problem is that fencing in Nassau at the high school level is nowhere near as organized as is Suffolk. This does ultimately hurt kids. Every Suffolk HS result is posted at Newsday.com, they even have posted standings. Nassau, no standings, and minimal results are reported. Why? Because Nassau lacks organization. I understand that some of the coaches try to take the bull by the horns, but it hasn't, and isn't working. We need a steering committee of coaches, parents, school administrators, etc.... to work with the governing body in Nassau (Section VIII) so all information, from coaches first aid certification, to what rules will be followed, as well as a "method" to detrmine disputes. I suggest a website, on behalf of Nassau County HS Section VIII Fencing, where rules, requirements and results can be posted and relied on. If everyone feels as passionately about this sport as is reflected here online, it would be to everyone's benefit. Hey, we can even have some of the private clubs pay $5.00 a month so we can pay for the service fee' for maintaining and hosting the site. every school fencing team can even have their own section abut their team which the coaches can upload information on their team, etc..... Its the lack of information that is killing this sport in Nassau County.
