Already a five-time national champion, Eunice Lee qualified to be on the U.S. National Jump Rope Team at last month’s trials in Chapel Hill, NC. Lee won the 3-minute speed endurance competition with 481 jumps counting only the right foot and qualified to compete in that event and two others on the world jump rope stage.
Sharing her passion with others, Lee formed the first jump rope club at Milpitas High earlier this year, called MHS Trojan Ropers. It is a recreational jump rope club with 20 student members who also train for performances at school.
Lee has set up a GoFundMe campaign to cover her expenses for the international competition at https://bit.ly/4bX79L1.
