Sports By Nuria Diaz Apr 12, 2021 1:01 AM After suffering a season-ending achilles injury in 2019, junior gymnast Deja Chambliss is on her way to competing at the NCAA Salt Lake City Regional on the vault. The Colonials qualified as a team at the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional in 2019, but Chambliss was sidelined for the effort. The regional appearance marks the first in Chambliss’ college career and the first time a Colonial has qualified on vault since current assistant coach Chelsea Raineri’s feat in 2017.
