She placed twelfth in this event, by successfully lifting 97 kg in the single-motion snatch, and hoisting 114 kg in the two-part, shoulder-to-overhead clean and jerk, for a total of 211 kg. Three months after the Olympics, Burgener married Casey at his family's home in California. She took a year off from the competition, and consequently, moved to San Diego, where she and her husband worked as assistant strength coaches at the University of San Diego. In 2010, Burgener returned to Colorado Springs, Colorado, and trained full-time at USOC, with the goal of medalling for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
