  • On how he got into fencing “I was in middle school around the time the 2016 Rio Olympics were going on and was looking for a new sport to try. Everyone in my town was talking about “The girl from Lexington going to the Olympics to do fencing (Lee Kiefer): and that’s when I decided I wanted to try it. I’ve loved it ever since.”
