DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women’s basketball freshman guard Miela Goodchild recently added another honor to her resume as she helped guide Australia to a bronze medal at the FIBA Under-18 Asian Championships in India.
Goodchild was selected as a member of the 12-person team chosen to represent Australia in the U18 division. The selection process starts at the state level, with each state producing teams to compete against one another in national tournaments. Potential players then go to national camps where they can be identified by Team Australia coaches. Finally, there are two selection camps, one earlier in the year and one in August to make the last cuts and produce a roster.
