Continue to check for updates on my training and the changes in my life! Follow me on twitter! @LAchong88  After my 4 years of competing for Oregon State, I took a 5th year to finish my Bachelors degree in Exercise & Sport Science with an option in Pre-Physical Therapy and a minor in Psychology. To preserve my scholarship, I was a student-assistant coach for the 2011 team, who became the 2011 PAC-10 Conference Champions, Regional Champions, and placed 8th at the NCAA Championships, with many individual victories and All-Americans as well. As of right now, I have decided to postpone physio school to focus on my training. I have recently been looking into joining Cirque du Soleil, as I feel like it would be an amazing life experience and frankly, I am not done performing just yet. Eventually, I would love to work with National Sports Teams and Olympic or Professional athletes! Check out my LinkedIn Profile for my professional qualifications and resume. |
After a year and a half off of gymnastics, I have recently decided to go back in training and put in a bid for the 2011/2012 Canadian National Team in hopes of representing Canada in London during the 2012 Olympic Games! After nearly making the team and being named an alternate for the 2004 Olympic Team, I am still hungry for the ultimate dream. I competed for Oregon State University for 4 years, claiming the PAC-10 Conference Title on the balance beam, the South-Central Regional Title on the uneven bars, and earning two All-America Honors for my efforts on bars and beam during my senior season at the NCAA Championships in 2010. As a team, we made it to Nationals all 4 years of my career, with the most breath taking moment happening at the South-Central Regionals when we were tied with the 5-time defending National Champions, Georgia, at the end of the competition. In a tie-breaking procedure, we managed to pull ahead and advance to Nationals while the defending National Champions were forced to call it a season.  |
