CF360 founder/editor Pete LaFleur visited with several fencers and coaches during the NCAAs, with several video interviews "in the can" and now ready to be rolled out as another exclusive here at CollegeFencing360:
NOTE – Many of these videos were shot in FULL-HD and then re-packaged for online viewing. To view a video, simply click on the link and then wait for the video to download (time varies, typically between 15-60 seconds, based on your computer's connection speed). ... It's worth the wait, as this ensures a higher-quality video (once downloaded, a video will load right away if you wish to replay it).
