At the 2016 Nationals, Persinger won silver with skip Nina Roth, losing the final to Erika Brown. The next season Persinger joined Jamie Sinclair's new team at second, along with third Alex Carlson and lead Monica Walker. Team Sinclair found success, winning the 2017 National Championship, but missed out on going to the World Championship due to Roth earning more points throughout the season. They also played on the winning North American Team at the 2017 Continental Cup of Curling and made it to the quarterfinals of the last Grand Slam of the season, the 2017 Humpty's Champions Cup.
