only replicate her success from the last three years but
top it. Coming off an incredible junior season, Wong will
lead the team in all four events.
“She is an incredible young lady in every aspect of her
life, “ Nebraska Coach Dan Kendig said. “She takes a lot
of pride in what she does and just wants to be the best
she can be. She has done an incredible job for us every
single year and I expect nothing less from her in her
senior season.”
2013 • JUNIOR SEASON
A four-time All-American as a junior, Wong tied
for third nationally in the all-around at the NCAA
Championships with a score of 39.525. Her performance
also landed her first-team All-America accolades on
vault, floor, and the all-around and second-team laurels
on beam. She finished third on floor and 10th on vault at
the event finals.
Wong snagged a total of 24 titles in 2013, including
seven in the all-around. She saved her finest performance
