Freshman volleyball standout Emily Brown was one of 14 girls selected to train with the U.S. Women’s Volleyball Junior National Team.
The training session was July 13 through 18 and took place at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Brown, a 6-foot-2 right side hitter/setter from Baldwin City, was invited to attend the training session after a tryout she attended in February. Brown and the other 13 girls from around the United States, are considered alternates for the Junior National Team
The team is coached by Brian Hosefeld from University of Texas, Louella Lovely from the University of Notre Dame and Ken Ko from the University of Washington.
Brown, who averaged 2.45 digs per game and 2.12 kills per game, trains as a right side/outside hitter at Kansas. While at the training camp Brown was trained as the team’s setter, a position she wasn’t used to playing.
“I was honored to be invited to the training camp,” Brown said. “I was definitely taken out of my comfort zone but I learned a lot and hope to carry the skills I learned with me into next season.”
The Junior National Team will compete in the FIVB Junior Women’s U-20 National Championships July 23 through 31 in Ankara, Turkey.
