Athletes selected to USA Field Hockey Masters training squads were announced Friday.
There were 173 women, and 129 men, who tried out in March and April, according to the U.S. Masters Transition Team. From the squads, USA Field Hockey will select players to represent the United States at the 2023 Pan American Continental Cup in December in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The two-day tryouts were held in Miami, Florida, Phoenix, Arizona, and Philadelphia. Athletes were put through a series of skill and drill sessions, small-sided games, and when possible, full-field matches.
Among the women selected are Janelle Benner, head coach at Ursinus College; Katie Grant, a standout Duke field hockey alum; and, Linda Kreiser, former Lower Dauphin High School field hockey head coach.
Several of the players selected are college, high school, and club coaches, as well as elite athletes.
