Olivia Thompson? Hard done by possibly?


Ash Karaitiana, possibly the lucky one?

Seekamp way ahead of Karaitiana.

Hard done by I don't think so, just bad luck there are so many talented girls playing same position of forward. Not really in same league as blicavs tippet and Payne but it is disappointing not to see seekamp in team or minear

Good to see that all the 2009 world champ girls are back in the team again INCLUDING Ash K with exception of Jill H. Neither Minear, Seekamp or Thompson made the 2009 team either - a little overrated perhaps? With a totally different coaching staff this year, that has to mean that the girls that got in both teams deserved their spots and those that didn't well there is still life after basketball. Good luck Gems!
