Goodchild's Summer Adventure

By Jim Sumner, GoDuke.com

DURHAM, N.C.-- Have jump shot, will travel.

That could be Miela Goodchild’s business card.

Goodchild is going to spend this July first in Paris and then in Thailand.

But the rising Duke sophomore isn’t going to be touring museums or hitting the beaches.

Instead she’s going to be representing Australia on the basketball hard-courts, in the FIBA Under-19 World Cup.

Duke should reap significant benefits from Goodchild’s summer vacation, as she continues to develop and enhance her considerable basketball abilities.

There’s nothing unusual about Goodchild wearing her nation’s colors in international competition.
