In her interview with People on May 5, 2025, Chiles shared her thoughts on winning the NCAA title in the uneven bars event in the 2025 NCAA Championships. She shared:

“It definitely was an amazing experience. I’m one of the only athletes that’s ever won back-to-back event titles on bars. So, I think it was really cool to see that I made history again and that I had that opportunity. It just makes me hungry for more. If I can do it twice, maybe I can do it three times, four times, as many times as my body allows it. I really had fun with it and I wouldn’t change the world for anything that happened.”

Apart from her 2025 NCAA individual title, she has won titles in uneven bars and floor exercise and two second-place finishes in all-around and team events.
