Jessica Jerome

Jessica is an eight-time U.S. national champion, including a sweep of the large and normal hill events in 2008. She has 21 Continental Cup (COC) podium finishes and a sixth-place result in the 2009 inaugural World Championships event. She finished the 2010/11 season ranked fifth in the world. Jessica captured her first COC victory in Rovaniemi, Finland in December 2010.

She has received her share of injuries: most recently a blown ACL that forced Jerome to miss half of the 2006-07 season. Jessica’s teammates admire her for her grit, determination and ability to overcome adversity. Jessica knows how to fly … far. She has a career-best 138-meter leap on one of her favorite hills, the Lillehammer K120, on her résumé. When Jessica isn’t traveling or flying through the air, she likes to cook, run, and hang out with her siblings and her friends. She is studying economics at Westminster College in Salt Lake City
