SAN DIEGO — After qualifying for the National Collegiate Fencing Championships as a freshman, UC San Diego fencer and Solana Beach native Piper Randolph was featured on two local media outlets.

The San Diego Union-Tribune's Glae Thien wrote a feature article on Randolph's journey to becoming a Triton, including her time at Pacific Ridge School and first season at UC San Diego.

Randolph then joined KUSI's Lauren Phinney on the set of Good Morning San Diego to discuss all things collegiate fencing.
