Pleasant Home’s River Baldwin has been selected as 1-of-141 girls selected to take part in the 2017 USA Basketball Women’s 16U National Team trials on May 25-29 at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Players eligible for the 2017 USA Basketball Women’s U16 National Team must be U.S. citizens born on or after Jan. 1, 2001.

“USA Basketball is very excited to welcome these players to Colorado Springs, and we look forward to a great weekend of competition,” said Carol Callan, USA Basketball Women’s National Team director and chair of the USA Basketball Women’s Developmental National Team Committee.

The USA will compete in the 2017 FIBA Americas U16 Championship from June 7-11 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where it will be in the hunt for a gold medal as well as a berth into the 2018 FIBA U17 World Cup, which is awarded to the top four finishing teams.

Twenty-one players with previous USA Basketball experience will attend trials.
