Jennifer Baybrook, also known as the "Yo-Yo Princess", is a player from Hawaii who was a member of Team YoYoJam and a former member of Team High Performance. Jennifer is a U.S. National Yo-Yo Master and the first female to win both the U.S. National Yo-Yo Contest (1997) and World Yo-Yo Contest (1998), both in the 2A Division. With these victories, she also became the first person to hold both titles simultaneously.
Jennifer had appeared on many TV shows including Wanna Bet? and The Steve Harvey Show. During her Wanna Bet? episode she, along with Ken Russell (son of Jack Russell), and Joseph Harris, attempted unsuccessfully to light 100 matches doing loops within 2 minutes.
