Becky Lavelle height - How tall is Becky Lavelle?

Before her collegiate career was even halfway over, Becky also got the itch to try a new sport – triathlon.

In 2008, Becky Lavelle co-founded the non-profit organization Jenny's Light in honor of her late sister Jenny and her sister's baby boy Graham. Jenny's Light's mission is to improve and save lives by increasing awareness of all perinatal mood disorders, including postpartum depression. Jenny's Light has now joined forces with San Jose, CA based Supporting Mamas (supportingmamas.org) who has a similar mission. Additionally, the annual Jenny's Light Run (10K, 5K, and kids run) held in May in Los Gatos, CA helps raise funds for this very important cause. The organization has raised over $300,000, which they donated to other organizations aiming similarly to raise awareness around postpartum depression and to support mothers who suffer from the debilitating condition.

Becky went on to swim competitively at Louisiana State University (LSU) in college. Her collegiate swim career proved similarly illustrious, and before graduating, Becky had cemented herself as a ten-time NCAA All-American swimmer. Becky was crowned SEC Champion in 200y breaststroke, in 1996 during her junior year. Then in 1997, she was named NCAA state-level "Woman of the Year" for Louisiana, based on her athletic and academic achievements as well as her commitment to serving her community. Despite the stresses that would accompany achieving these high goals, in 1998 Becky graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Kinesiology.

Already by the tender age of 12, despite her inanely compassionate and tranquil demeanor, there was no denying that Becky posed a ruthless threat to her competition. That same year, Becky was named best swimmer of her age group in Minnesota, a title she would maintain for seven years. In 1993, during her senior year of high school, she was named (overall) Female Swimmer of the Year for Minnesota.

Becky (Gibbs) Lavelle (born December 5, 1974) is a former professional triathlete, race director, competitive runner, and coach. As a professional triathlete, she had over 50 career wins in Olympic and Half-Ironman distance races.
