Gymnastics career

[edit]

In 2009, LeDuc moved up to Level 10 and was crowned the 2009 J.O.

After 2009 Nationals, LeDuc moved to World Olympic Gymnastics Academy and, the following season, participated in the club's annual meet, the WOGA Classic, finishing 5th all-around.[8] LeDuc finished 7th at the National Elite Qualifier in July.[9] Soon after, she took home 14th all-around at the 2010 CoverGirl Classic[10] and then, 20th at Nationals.[11]
