Sabrina Vega didn’t think she would ever compete in college.
She was an elite gymnast with Olympic dreams. In 2011, she was a part of the gold-medal-winning U.S. National Team in Tokyo. She seemed to be on track to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team for the London games the following year.
But when it was time to put the 2012 team together her name wasn’t called. It was a devastating moment for someone who spent the majority of her time – six to seven hours a day, six days a week – training to be an Olympian.
