She trains at Auburn in Washington State.

___ Update:

xfx notes that Brazilian Merly de Jesus competed the skill domestically in 2004. She never made Worlds so had no chance to have it named the “Jesus”.

___ 2nd Update:

Summer reminds us of the great London Phillips who went on to compete for Cal State Fullerton. London in 2015 competed both 1/1-in, ½-out and the BILES in the same routine. 🙂
