Milpitas HS jump rope enthusiast Eunice Lee wins fifth U.S. National Championship

Milpitas High School freshman Eunice Lee was recently crowned the U.S. Grand National Jump Rope Champion at the 2024 American Jump Rope National Championship (AMJRNC), which was held June 24-29 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Milpitas Jump Rope Club founder bested the all-ages field for the Single Rope Speed Endurance (SRSE-3 minutes speed) and also earned the title of U.S. Junior Individual All-Around Champion. In total, she received one Gold medal for SRSE and three Silver medals for Single Rope Individual Freestyle (SRIF), Single Rope Speed Sprint (SRSS-30 seconds speed) and Single Rope Double Under Relay(SRDR-pair with another team).

Lee, who discovered her jump rope prowess while competing in the Milpitas Elementary Olympics, is now a 5-time U.S. National Champion for 3-minute Speed Jump Rope (2021,2022, 2023, 2024) and Single Rope Individual Freestyle (2022).

“I would like to use my jump rope talent to teach recreational music jump rope because I want to make the MUSD teen community healthy. I am planning to make a student jump rope club at Milpitas High School next semester,” shared Lee, who hopes to expand her jump rope tutelage to the Milpitas Teen Center or other community facilities as well. “I am happy to teach jump rope for teens outside of school. I need your help and support to promote the sport of jump rope.”
