Biography
Alex currently ranks number two
in our all-time records on vaulting, eighth on high bar and tenth on both the
pommel horse and parallel bars...During his tenure at W&M, he has earned USAG
Collegiate All-American honors on vaulting and
second team Academic All-American honors while taking on a wide array of
academic challenges from learning some tough math on the fly in applied
financial derivatives to independent studies on the Alexander
Technique...Ultimately he will graduate with a major in psychology and a minor
in math...Alex truly never got to work out without major restrictions due to
shoulder and back problems which limited him from day one in the gym but he
still managed to contribute to the team significantly by freely sharing his
technical knowledge of the sport... His parents are Dan and Daidre Egerter
and he was coached by Guard Young who is
now at Byers Gymnastics...Outside of the gym, Alex has developed interest in
multiple forms of alternative exercise ranging from Qi Gong and yoga to Tai
Chi...Additionally, Alex has been working a lot of hand balancing and is
looking to join alumni Ramon Jackson (Lion King at Disneyworld), Dave Locke
(Cirque du Soliel's Elvis in Las Vegas), and Josh Fried (La Reve in Las Vegas)
in the performance/entertainment industry in a Cirque type production. He has
made it to the final cut of ten for a contract with La Reve in Las Vegas and is
also a good match for the Cirque production in Moscow.
