Leanne Wong tries to bake a gingerbread house

Leanne Wong did not travel home to Kansas for the Christmas holidays and rather chose to stay with her teammates in Florida. With the NCAA championships beckoning the Gators with multi-rivalled prospects, it was all hands on deck in the training camp. Interestingly, when given the chance, Leanne Wong and her fellow Gatorades substituted the chalk with sweetened whipped cream on their hands. A ticklish Wong posted a collage on her Instagram story where each picture contributed to the fun-filled narrative.

The hilarity ensued when fellow Gators Payton Richards and Sloane Blakely proposed they bake a gingerbread house to welcome the holiday season. Not knowing the difficult road ahead, the trio set about their task with other members of the squad. 

After hours of hard work, they were able to erect the stable framework of the delectable house. It had a chimney and a big snowflake made out of frosting, too. According to Payton and Sloane, the dilapidated structure represented the “trials and tribulations of life.”

Wong who also added pictures of herself whitewashing the walls of an actual house, informed that the gingerbread house collapsed momentarily after construction. Suffice it to say, it was not wasted as the yummy walls satisfied the Gators’ hunger for sweet treats. Prior to the big NCAA season, this was another wholesome exhibition of team spirit in the Gators’ squad. 

A shining moment of gymnastics team spirit 

The team’s manager, Shea Wheeler, posted a couple of pictures of Leanne Wong with her fellow team members. She was caught on camera in a bear hug with the squad. Undoubtedly, these are her favorite people, which came through in the beaming smile on her face. During this special occasion of the “equality night,” Leanne Wong joined her Blue and Orange Gators to applaud every littlest member of the team.
