USA Field Hockey Crowns
National Futures Champions
VIRGINIA
BEACH, Va. – Athletes representing the Mid-Atlantic states and
Pennsylvania
earned national titles as USA Field Hockey concluded its National Futures
Championships at the National Training Center.
In a format
where top athletes from across the nation are selected at the regional level
and then placed on teams for the national tournament,
USA West won the
Under-14 division with a team consisting of players from Maryland, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, while Pennsylvania-based
Harrisburg won
the Under-16 and Pennsylvania’s Lancaster captured the gold medal in the
Under-19 division.
USA West won
the U16 title with a penalty stroke win over
USA South
(Pennsylvania
athletes) while Harrisburg won the U16 championship with a 4-1 final game
win over Kutztown (Pennsylvania athletes).
Lancaster won the U19 crown with
a 4-0 win over Las Vegas (athletes from Texas, Missouri, Colorado and
Kansas).
Presented by
Longstreth Women’s Sports, the Futures Championships featured 646 of USA
Field Hockey’s top high school-aged athletes from 25 states and the District
of Columbia competing in Under-14, Under-16 and Under-19 divisions.
Through their
performances at the event, athletes earned selection to higher-level USA
Field Hockey programs and competition teams including the AAU Junior Olympic
Team (U14 and U16 athletes, Aug. 1-5, Virginia Beach), Futures Elite, the
USA/Canada Field Hockey Challenge Cup Team (July 24-29, Virginia Beach), the
Olympic Development Select Program, USA Field Hockey’s Junior National Camp
or an assignment to a USA Field Hockey High Performance Center. The
tournament also provides an evaluation opportunity for collegiate coaches to
view and rate the nation's top field hockey athletes as potential student
athletes in their respective programs.
The
culmination of USA Field Hockey's Futures Program, the National Futures
Champions features the top athletes from the more than 5,000 of the
program’s nation-wide participants. After receiving five months of
elite-level training and tactical instruction in preparation for possible
future selection to the USA National Teams, Futures athletes compete in
regional tournaments where the top players are then selected to compete at
the national championship tournament.
