LIMA, Peru – It was a dream come true for Mikayla Pivec to take the floor Tuesday, representing USA Basketball at the Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.
Back in May Pivec joined a group of elite college basketball players at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. for Pan Am Trials. When she heard her name called, the joy was pure.
"I was really nervous when they were calling out the team," Pivec said. "When I heard my name I was super excited, and I'm thankful for the opportunities."
Determined to make the most of her selection, Pivec has continued to provide the Stars and Stripes with exactly what she has offered to her Oregon State squad the last three years: whatever the team needs, whenever it needs it.
