In 2014, Jordan was again added to the US junior national team and was named to the City of Jesolo Trophy team. In Italy, Jordan helped the US to a first place team finish and took silver in the vault finals behind teammate, Bailie Key.
Jordan continued her tour de force in August at the Secret Classic, the qualifier event for the P&G Championships. She took the gold medal in the all-around, and a gold medal on the vault.
