Now, Chiles has returned to compete at the elite level after wrapping up an incredible year as a collegiate athlete, winning 2 NCAA individual titles with UCLA in 2023, and has since partnered with the iconic sportswear giant as a Nike athlete. Jordan became known as Team USA’s ultimate hype woman at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games where she led USA to a Team Gold.
