New Jersey native Jessica Chong aka Chonger, moved to the Lehigh Valley to pursue teaching and triathlons. During her six years as a professional triathlete, she dabbled in road and track cycling, winning both Elite Pennsylvania Cycling Association (Best All-Around Rider) Track and Road Racing titles as well as an Elite State Road Racing title. She eventually gave up triathlons because it felt more like a job than something she actually enjoyed. In 2019, she finished 3rd overall in the Rider of the Year standings at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center, and is looking to defend her Elite National Championship Team Pursuit title in 2021. Away from cycling she loves dogs and eating a disproportionate amount of food for her size.
