will then present Chiles with a key to the city
in a short public ceremony. The parade will
then continue back up Main Street and end at
the Dairy Queen.
Chiles and two other Vancouver-area
hometown heroes competed in the Olympic
Games and Paralympic Games in Tokyo,
Japan, this year. The city also invited Team
USA Paralympian Yen Hoang (track and
field) and Olympian Kara Winger (track and
field) to participate in the parade, but both
women are currently out of the country, of-
ficials said.
Chiles was born in Tualatin and raised
in Vancouver, graduating from Prairie High
School in 2019. She competed in the vault,
floor exercise and balance beam events at
the summer Olympics and won a silver med-
al for Team USA in the women’s artistic all-
around event, substituting for another team
favorite Simone Biles who withdrew.
Chiles had secured her spot on the nation-
al team by finishing third in the all-around at
the U.S. Olympic Trials. She is set to attend
UCLA in the fall.
