A funny thing happened on the way to becoming a doctor at the University of Kentucky for Lee Kiefer, she got married, survived a Covid pandemic, and now is a decorated Olympic gold medalist.
While she wasn’t a true athlete for the University of Kentucky Lee Kiefer, a Lexington native and a third-year student at UK’s College of Medicine, became the first American to win gold in the individual foil in fencing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Since she is on campus Big Blue Nation will gladly claim her as one of its own.
