It's Every Day

Jeffrey attends the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, with legendary coach Mark Schubert. She has a memento from her USC recruiting trip – a pierced navel – to match her pierced left eyebrow and the piercing she wants to get on her lower lip.

Quote

"I'm not freaking out or anything,” Jeffrey told a reporter from the Palm Beach Post during a pre-Trials Italian dinner, where the reporter and her family noticed she seemed very nervous. “I'm not nervous. I'm pretty relaxed.”
