COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — Junior Madison Booker has been selected for USA Basketball Women's AmeriCup team trials. Twenty-one athletes are expected to participate in the 2025 USA Basketball Women's AmeriCup Team trials which begin June 17 at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Players were selected by the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee.
Following the selection of the 2025 USA Women's AmeriCup Team and a training camp in Colorado Springs, the United States will travel to Santiago, Chile, for the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup, set for June 28-July 6.
Booker has a successful history with USA Basketball having won three gold medals prior to her freshman year at Texas. Booker has been part of gold medal teams at the 2023 FIBA U19 Women's World Cup, 2022 FIBA U17 Women's World Cup and 2021 FIBA Women's U16 Americas Championship.
Booker had a stellar sophomore season at Texas as she earned First Team All-America honors from the Associated Press and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. She was the SEC Player of the Year and for the second time earned the Cheryl Miller Small Forward of the Year Award.
As previously announced, Kara Lawson (Duke University) will serve as head coach with assistant coaches DeLisha Milton-Jones (Old Dominion University) and Jennie Baranczyk (University of Oklahoma). They will be assisted by court coaches Jim Flanery (Creighton University) and Robyn Fralick (Michigan State University) at trials.
"On behalf of the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Committee, I am proud to announce a talented group of 21 athletes who will compete for their place on the 2025 USA Women's AmeriCup Team," said Cori Close, USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee chair. "About half of these young women have already claimed a gold medal with USA Basketball, so they bring great international experience with them. They are sure to be fierce competitors at trials. We look forward to choosing the group who will best represent the U.S. at the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup."
