Washington sophomore Kelsey Plum was named to USA Basketball’s Pan American Games team on Sunday. The 5-foot-8 guard was one of 51 players invited to a tryout last week in Colorado.
The group was evaluated for two separate teams, the 2015 World University Games also competing this summer. That tournament will be held in South Korea.
The 2015 Pan American Games are July 16-20 in Toronto. The Americans will open training camp July 3 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
“This is absolutely amazing,” said Plum via phone on Sunday. “Getting invited is actually kind of crazy because I’m pretty fresh out of knee surgery.
