With an already successful career, Katelyn Jong would be a highly sought-after member of any college gymnastics team. For Jong, choosing Auburn was an easy decision. The program’s reputation and the opportunity to train under Auburn head coach Jeff Graba made it the perfect fit for her. However, an injury will likely sideline Jong for the rest of the season, dealing Auburn’s gymnastics team a major setback.
Gymnastics Now shared the heartbreaking news on its official X handle. The post stated, “Auburn head coach Jeff Graba said Katelyn Jong officially has a lower leg injury. #NCAAgym.” During a recent practice session, Jong was seen using a scooter and wearing a boot, further indicating the severity of her injury. The signs suggest that her freshman season has ended abruptly, despite the lack of an official recovery timetable.
