US Lacrosse Names 2003 Women's U-19 Training Team
Baltimore — Twenty-four high school players have been named
to the 2003 U.S. Women's Under-19 lacrosse training team by US Lacrosse.
The 16 players that will represent the United States in next summer's
International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations (IFWLA)
Under-19 World Championship will be selected from the training team.
The players selected represent high schools from seven different
states and the District of Columbia.
Nearly 100 players participated in a three-day tryout at the United
Sports Training Center in Downingtown, Pa., from Aug. 12-14. A 14-member
selection committee composed of regional representatives, individuals
involved with the US Lacrosse national teams program and the U-19
coaching staff selected the team.
"I'm really excited to be surrounded by such incredibly talented
athletes," said Wendy Kridel, head coach of the 2003 U.S. Under-19
Women's Lacrosse Team. "I look forward to working with these
young athletes and taking them to defend the world championship."
The U.S. finished as the runner-up to Australia in the inaugural
1995 IFWLA U-19 World Championship in Haverford, Pa., but defeated
the host Australians for the championship in 1999. US Lacrosse is
hosting the joint IFWLA/International Lacrosse Federation (ILF)
U-19 World Championships at Towson (Md.) University from June 26-July
6, 2003.
The 60-acre, state-of-the-art United Sports Training Center features
11 outdoor fields, including two with lights, and four indoor fields.
It has hosted numerous lacrosse, soccer and field hockey events.
Boasting one million visitors annually, the United Sports Training
Center is within short distance of Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
York.
US Lacrosse, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization, is the national
governing body of men's and women's lacrosse.
