Gymnastics career

Jay began gymnastics at the age of three after watching the Magnificent Seven win team gold at the 1996 Summer Olympics.[1] She won the all-around and the vault at the 2010 Level 10 National Championships.[2] She moved up to the elite level later that year and won a bronze medal on the vault at the 2010 U.S. Championships.[3]

Jay finished third in the all-around and won the vault at the 2011 American Classic, qualifying to the 2011 U.S. Championships as a result.[4] There, she finished third on the vault and placed 11th in the all-around. As a result, she was invited to the selection camp for the 2011 World Championships and the 2011 Pan American Games.[1] She was selected to represent the United States at the 2011 Pan American Games and helped the team win the gold medal. She also advanced into the vault final, where she won another gold medal.[5]

At the 2012 U.S. Championships, Jay won the silver medal on the vault, behind Alicia Sacramone, and placed 17th in the all-around after falling three times.[6][7] She was not selected to compete at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.[8] She enrolled at the University of Georgia in the fall of 2012 to begin competing for the Georgia Gymdogs in the 2013 season.[9] During her freshman, sophomore, and junior years, she was named an All-American on the vault.[7] During her senior year, she won both the SEC and the NCAA vault titles.[10] She remained at Georgia for another year as the team's graduate student coach.[11]
