A moment of silence held for Lauren Chang
From the Boston Globe
Jamfest attendants held a moment of silence for Chang the afternoon of the competition. The music was shut off and parents hushed laughing and shouting children in the packed hall of the Mass Mutual Center. Afterwards, an announcer called for a round of applause and the hall exploded with sounds of clapping. Chang’s teammates, who were overseen throughout the competition by an entourage of protective parents, huddled together.
“It’s definitely been rough for them,†said Kim England, the owner of Energized Athletics, the Watertown gym where Chang trained. “You’ve got to understand. They all turned around and saw what was happening. They saw her on the floor.â€
