WBB: Arianna Jackson in WNBA skills challenge

[mred]

The WNBA skills challenge yesterday matched up eight teams consisting of one WNBA player and one AAU player at the Nike Nationals (which is in Chicago at the same time as the WNBA all star game). 2023 ISU verbal Arianna Jackson was one of the fortunate AAU players to participate (as was her All Iowa Attack teammate Ava Zediker, a 2025 player ISU has shown interest in).

Jackson was teamed up with Azura Stevens. Jackson did her part perfectly in the first round and spotted Stevens a lead, but the eventual champion Ionescu team came back to win.
