  • Summary

  • Lauren Scruggs just turned 21, but she's already established herself as one of the top fencers on the planet. Ranked 13th in the world in foil, the Harvard junior has plenty of heady accomplishments on her resume - the youngest American to ever win a junior world title, NCAA champion, one of two African-Americans to become an international champ. Yet somehow, despite so much success at such a young age, Scruggs seems to keep everything in check. The pressure doesn't phase her. What's her secret? How did she, and her brother, break through in a sport that historically has lacked representation among people of color? Where do the 2024 Olympics factor into her plans? Listen to find out what makes Scruggs tick. Hosted by Brian Seltzer.
