Lauren was 3 years old when she started gymnastics, and quickly found her passion in gymnastics. During the 2008 Summer Olympics, she was glued to the TV, wearing a USA leotard, and singing the national anthem during Shawn Johnson's gold medal performance. Just a year later, she met Shawn at the 2009 Visa Championships. She began competing as a Level 4 just after she turned 6. She advanced through the JO levels each year. In 2013, she began attending the US Women's Team Developmental Camps at the Karolyi Ranch. She qualified as a HOPES elite in 2014, and attended the 2014 Secret Challenge in Chicago, where she earned 2nd place on beam. She continues to train for elite competitions, and hopes that someday she will wear the red, white and blue and compete for the United States in international competitions. When not in the gym or attending home school co-op with her friends, Lauren enjoys arts and crafts, pop music, hiking and biking outside and playing with her Bengal cat, Zeus, and Labradoodle puppy, Athena.
Lundyn Vandertoolen is a gymnast from Olympus Gymnastics in UT. I competed level 10 last year and was the state Champion. After that unfortunately I fractured by foot in 2 places and couldn't compete at Regionals. I am currently working to qualify Jr. Elite this year. I am also competing level 10. I ABSOLUTELY love competing.
I am the youngest of 4 girls and my sisters call me Stinky. I love to wear footie pajamas all the time and anything fuzzy. I have a huge collection of stuffed animals that take up almost half of my room. I started gymnastics at the age of 5. I have a very quite voice and a funny personality. I am very superstitious in all things.
I love people and God always is first in my life. I am very active in serving in my church and serving others. I am so very grateful for the talent that God has blessed me with. I have a goal to make the national team and compete internationally. Also, I really want to compete on a college team. Follow me on instagram at @lundynv2024

In her senior year before heading off to Stanford, Rachel Flam made it a season to remember with some very strong and consistent performances throughout the year. Flam finished atop the podium in the all-around on five separate occasions in 2017, including first all-around wins at state, regionals, and JO Nationals, a truly remarkable feat. Flam’s highest all-around score of the season came at the WOGA Classic with a staggering 39.275, one of the few gymnsts to even score over a 39 throughout the year. Flam is from Houston, Texas and is an incoming freshman at Stanford.
