In Vegas, she shockingly went down on the Propeller Bar, an obstacle she cleared the previous season in an digested performance.
American Ninja Warrior 11[]
Jeri returned for American Ninja Warrior 11, competing in Cincinnati. In qualifying, her run was digested, but it showed that she came so close to completing the Slingshot, but fell. She still placed 30th at the end of the night and 4th among the women to qualify for the city finals. In the city finals, she finally got past the 5th obstacle after failing there her past 5 attempts. It took her all 3 attempts to clear the Warped Wall but she managed to clear that. She also cleared the Salmon Ladder and then she failed the Slam Dunk. Unfortunately, since both Michelle Warnky and Jesse Labreck managed to clear the entire course, she didn't get to move on to Vegas for the first time since ANW 8. Even with that loss, it was still a significant run for her, as it was the best performance in her career. She ultimately placed 3rd among the women and 14th overall, missing it by one spot.

There, Jeri made it to the Slingshot, the 5th obstacle, before falling (marking the second time she failed the obstacle). She barely made into the Finals, moving on by placing 2nd in the top 2 women. In the Finals, she failed the Falling Shelves, just as Jessie Graff that day.

Women’s Championship 2[]

American Ninja Warrior 15[]
Jeri returned to compete for American Ninja Warrior 15 in the fourth round of qualifying. Her run was shown in a brief montage of Greased Lightning fails, with Jeri losing her grip after the second drop. Due to only 2 women clearing that obstacle, and being the fastest woman to get there, she placed 3rd among the women, and moved on to the Semifinals.
Jeri raced Emma Pereyra during the Semifinals. While Jeri fell on Beehive once again, Emma made it to the fifth obstacle, Slingshot, winning the race and eliminating Jeri.
