CLOSE Auburn University gymnast and graduate Sam Cerio talks about her Auburn career and her injury on Thursday May 9, 2019. Montgomery Advertiser
Before Joseph Donald Wood III — or Trey, as everyone calls him — walked across the stage, someone told him, "Good luck following that." He probably laughed. His name might have followed hers at their graduation, but she'll take that name as her own when the two get married early next month. You won’t find that video or those photos anywhere in this story, and not only because she has specifically requested it. Not much of this story is going to be about Cerio’s injury; it’s going to be about a four-year Auburn gymnast who recently graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering, has a job lined up at Boeing and plans to walk down the aisle at her wedding to Wood on June 1.“This injury, my injury, isn’t what’s going to define me,” Cerio told the Montgomery Advertiser.
One of those letters was from Auburn. Cerio first popped up on coach Jeff Graba’s radar during her ninth-grade year, while she was competing at the Kristie Phillips Athletic Center in Troutman, North Carolina — a high-level gym frequented by college coaches. From a practical standpoint, she was a perfect fit for the Tigers; they had four scholarships available for 2016 and they needed a strong competitor on bars, which Cerio was.
But academics were equally important to Cerio. Her parents have always been supportive of her gymnastics career, she said, but throughout it, they reminded her that “gymnastics will end eventually, and you have to go and do other things after that, so you have to find something that you love as much as you do gymnastics.”
“I didn’t really talk about gymnastics and aerodynamics all that much,” Cerio said, “because my teammates are like, ‘that’s just stuff we don’t even understand. It’s OK. You don’t have to talk about it.’” “Trey must be one of the best human beings on earth, because I don’t know if he ever gets to see her,” Graba joked. “I just feel like that’s the untold story, is how does she squeeze all of this in?
One thing Cerio does remember vividly, though, is senior athletics trainer Cindy Cohen telling her, “Don’t worry; you’re going to walk down that aisle.” It became a rallying cry for her rehab process, which she described as standard for any major leg injury, only multiplied by both legs.
That’s the only reason anyone knows who she is
