    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2016 Championship 2 History 4 All-Time Team Results 8 2016 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Columbia takes home second straight title: The final day of action at the 2016 NCAA National Collegiate Fencing Championships, held at Brandeis, saw three repeat winners. Two individuals achieved the feat, while Columbia was crowned the team champions for the second year running. The Lions took a 13-point lead into the day, and though it closed to double digits at certain points throughout the day, the repeat was not really in question. Columbia finished with a seven-point victory, 174-167, over Ohio State, thanks to a balanced attack that saw them score 30 points in three of the six weapons and not less than 24 in any of them. “To come out ahead shows what a great group of individuals we have on our team,” Columbia coach Michael Aufrichtig said. “Other than all the practices and workouts and all the preparation, one of the main things it came down to is their heart, their love for each other. So when they’re out there on the strip, they’re fencing for not just themselves but for their entire team.” Columbia is the first repeat NCAA Fencing champion since Penn State in 2009 and 2010. It’s the Lions’ fourth overall combined title since the championship went to this format in 1990. They also won back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. Ohio State finished in second place despite qualifying one less than the maximum 12 qualifiers for the championship.

  • Polish Fencing Coaches in the United States and Their Contribution to the Development of American Fencing After 1989
    MACIEJ ŁUCZAK Department of History and Organization of Physical Culture Chair of Humanistic Foundations of Physical Culture University School of Physical Education, Poznań [email protected] TOMASZ SKIRECKI Department of Polish-AngloSaxon Cultural Relations School of English Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań [email protected] POLISH FENCING COACHES IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN FENCING AFTER 1989 In the first decade of the 21st century the United States has joined the historical leading European fencing powers: France, Italy, Russia, Germany, Hungary and Poland. At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens the American fencers won the gold and bronze medals in women’s individual saber – an event debuting in the Olympic program. Four years later at the Olympics in Beijing the US fenc- ers swept all three medals in women’s individual saber, bronze in women’s team saber, silver in women’s team foil and silver in men’s team saber. Olym- pic fencing, especially women’s saber fencing, is currently in its heyday in the United States.1 It is an important part of collegiate athletics and the number of fencing clubs in the USA is probably the largest in the world. 1 E.

[MUSIC PLAYING] CARL NATHY: Hello, and welcome to the Behind the Blue podcast. I'm Carl Nathy, pleased to be joined in this interview by Lee Kiefer. Lee has just finished her second year of medical school at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. She grew up in Lexington, and she has some very interesting things going on in her life, including being a two time Olympic. I said, yes, summer Olympics, as in London 2012, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. And she is aiming to compete in the summer 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Lee thanks for taking the time, and welcome in. LEE KIEFER: Thank you for having me. Happy to be here. CARL NATHY: You have a fascinating background. Tell us a little bit. You grew up in Lexington, and grew up in a family that had both fencing in the family and medical education in the family. LEE KIEFER: Yes. Fencing and medicine is all I've ever known since I was born, it seems like. Growing up, my dad, who is a physician, he decided that he wanted to try fencing. He hadn't picked up a foil, let's say, in 10, 15 years. And me and my siblings watched him compete at a local tournament. And then he asked if we wanted to try it. We said yes, and then almost 20 years later, I'm still here.
