Jacobsen competed for the Excalibur Gymnastics Club in Virginia Beach, where she was a member of the TOPS National B Team in 2004 before moving to the A Team in 2005.

Askew Inks Letter of Intent to Play at Boise State
Miquelle Askew has signed a letter of intent to play basketball for Boise State, according to women's basketball coach Gordy Presnell.
If you're going to be an elite team on the national stage, which is want Presnell wants for his team, you've got to have strong center play. Askew is 6-3 and has been a four-year starter for Skyline High School in South Jordan, Utah. Last season, she averaged 14 points, eight rebounds, six assists, four blocks and a steal in earning all-conference and all-state honors. In other words, she's a scoring force inside, is a bit of an intimidator on defense and has great vision.
"We are excited for Miquelle to join our Bronco basketball family," said Presnell. "Miquelle is an outstanding young lady and student. She is one of the top post players in the west and has a huge upside. We look forward to Miquelle being an inside presents on our team."
In the last two seasons at Skyline, Askew has led the the Eagles to a 23-1 conference record and 34-12 overall. Skyline has made three consecutive 4A state tournament appearances.
