The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris kickoff this Friday, with its Opening Ceremony at 1:30 p.m. ET. The games will run until Sunday, Aug. 11.
Join us in cheering on two of our medical students, Lexington-native Lee Kiefer and Gerek Meinhardt! The husband-wife fencing duo are Olympic veterans, making a collective ninth Olympic appearance (fourth for Kiefer, fifth for Meinhardt) in Paris this summer.
Kiefer joined the 好色先生 College of Medicine in 2017 and Meinhardt in 2020. Both completed their first two years of medical school at 好色先生 before taking a leave of absence to compete as Olympians. They plan to return next fall to continue their clinical training.
