Supriya Nair is a junior at Stanford Online High School, a rare triple‑weapon fencer, and the creator of Neurofencing — a project that asks a simple question every athlete knows: Does a good warm‑up really make you faster? She started by wiring herself up with cheap sensors in her garage. Two years later, she's collecting data at major hospitals and university labs, using high‑end gear to track hundreds of lunges and reaction times.But Supriya's curiosity doesn't stop at the edge of the strip. Her newest study, done at Seattle Children's Hospital, looks at how the tiniest blood vessels deep inside the brain differ from those near the surface—a finding she hopes to share at the big Neuroscience 2025 meeting. In this third conversation we'll recap her journey in plain English, highlight what her latest numbers mean for fencers and coaches, and hear where her science‑meets‑sport adventure goes next.Visit https://www.neurofencing.com --First to 15: The Official Podcast of USA FencingHost: Bryan WendellCover art: Manna CreationsTheme music: Brian Sanyshyn

Kaitlyn Johnson is a swimmer/crossfitter from Morgantown, WV who recently qualified for the 2024 Olympic Swim Trials in the 50 meter freestyle. Born and raised in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, she played different sports growing up but ultimately stuck with swimming. She continued to swim in college at Clarion University of Pennsylvania, ending her collegiate career as a 28x All American (one of only two people to achieve this in school history) and 9x school record holder. She retired from swimming after the 2016 Olympic Trials and found crossfit a couple years later. In 2022, after only swimming here and there since 2016, she decided to add swimming into her crossfit training as recovery once a week. She signed up for a local swim meet for fun in April 2022 to find herself qualifying for U.S. Summer Nationals in Irvine, California in July. At Nationals, she ended up placing 13th overall with two lifetime best swims, both times being under the 2024 Olympic Trial cut. Kaitlyn achieved qualification for the trials doing Crossfit 5x/week and only swimming once a week. Exclusive to WODcast listeners: 2POOD The official belt of USA Weightlifting.

University of Virginia head coach, Todd DeSorbo, didn't roll back on his heels after winning the 2022 Women's NCAA DI Championships team title. DeSorbo, who is on the TritonWear Advisory Board, dove into swimming data. “TritonWear is powerful tech,” he said. “Increasingly we've been using it, and we used it a lot starting in the early spring with an eye on the long course season.” DeSorbo was a 2022 Team USA FINA World Champs head coach, but his goals spanned the summer. “Budapest, World Champs, was over in June, but we always intended to show up at Summer Nationals (in Irvine).” DeSorbo singled out Matt King as one example where tracking swimming data made a big difference. “He was a 49.9 PB in the 100m free. This summer he dropped to 48.33, and his stroke count was essentially the same.” Matt King dropped the 48.33 in the prelim. He touched in 48.44 in the final to tie for the U.S. National Title. King, only 5'11, swam big. DeSorbo noted stroke efficiency as the big gain, a TritonWear metric he tracked closely since early April. “He (King) was like a 22.6 PB in the 50m free,” DeSorbo said, “ and he won national with a 21.8, a big drop.” DeSorbo was an CPA at one of the biggest accounting firms in the world before he decided that career path wasn't making his happy. “I could do it,” he said, “but it wasn't the same as coaching swimming. That's my passion. But, with my CPA experience, I know to respect the numbers--trust numbers.” What is DeSorbo's go-to Tritonwear Metric? "Push-off Power," he said. “You're never faster in a race than exploding off the wall. That starts your speed…speed you fight to maintain throughout the lap.” In recent news, FINA Technical Congress saw the passing of a proposed change to rule SW 10.8. As of Jan. 01, 2023: “The use of technology and automated data collection devices is permissible for the sole purpose of collecting data. Automated devices shall not be utilized to transmit data, sounds, or signals to the swimmer and may not be used to aid their speed.” This means wearable technology to collect data for research, education, and entertainment is legal. However, that data cannot be used in real-time – in swimming races – to aid a swimmer's speed.

Phil Andrews is credited with making multiple changes for the better over a decade of service at USA Weightlifting, including the past six years as CEO, and overseeing an elite team that at the Tokyo Olympics took home its first Olympic silver in women's weightlifting. Among his challenges at the governing body was a deep debate internationally over the future of the sport, one that very well may see weightlifting removed from the Olympic program in future years over concerns about their approach, or lack thereof, to doping at the international level. Andrews was a fighter for the anti-doping cause, an effort that he pushed as he also fought to expand the sport of weightlifting to the widest audience possible in the United States. In July, he was named CEO of USA Fencing, an organization that has had its own challenges in recent years, especially in areas surrounding SafeSport. But it's an organization with an even larger membership than weightlifting — around 40,000 members compared to about 30,000 — and one that produces some sizable events, including its Summer Nationals, which were most recently held at the convention center in Minneapolis. Andrews will spend the next few months on a listening tour among his new constituents, but before he does, he sat down with SportsTravel Executive Editor and Publisher Jason Gewirtz to discuss his own history in the sport, the future of the NGB's events, its desires to partner more with potential host cities and how in the world light sabers may fit into the equation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
