CORVALLIS, Ore. - Former Oregon State gymnast Mary Ayotte-Law is set to be inducted to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

A three-time All-American, Ayotte-Law became OSU’s second gymnast to win a national championship with her floor exercise title in 1982.

An outstanding overall gymnast, she also earned All-America status in 1981 on the balance beam and in 1982 in the all-around where she finished third that year.

In addition to her brilliant performances on the biggest of NCAA stages, Ayotte-Law also earned 11 NCAA Western Region titles in her career, including four straight in the all-around.

She also earned regional championships on the vault in 1980 and 1981, on the uneven bars in 1981, on beam in 1980 and on the floor in 1980, 1981 and 1982.

Ayotte-Law capped her OSU career when she received the American Award, which is based on a gymnast’s career academic and athletic achievements to honor the nation’s top senior gymnast.

Following the 1981 season Ayotte-Law competed as a U.S. National Team member at the World University Games in Bucharest, Romania.
