Healthy after suffering an injury that kept her from competing in 2016, Chung added valuable depth to the roster in 2017, but did not see action in a meet.

2016 (Redshirt) 
Chung trained on all four events as a freshman, but suffered a preseason elbow injury that kept her from contributing her gymnastics in the 2016 season.
