FORT WORTH – Olivia Miles will vie for her second FIBA gold medal.

Miles, a soon-to-be graduate student for TCU women's basketball, was one of 12 players named to the USA Women's AmericaCup Team roster.

Player selections were made by the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee following a three-day team trial from Monday-Wednesday at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Miles and Team USA will now travel to Santiago, Chile for the FIBA Women's AmeriCup, which runs from June 28-July 6.

The 5-10 guard first earned gold as a member of the 2019 USA U16 Women's National Team that won the FIBA Americas Championship in Puerto Aysén, Chile. Miles averaged tournament-leading 7.5 assists per game.

Miles was one of two Big 12 players chosen to rep the stars and stripes alongside Iowa State's Audi Crooks.

Barring injury of course, about how many games can these young women expect to play during an average year? (If, indeed, an "average year" ever happens!)
