Wisconsin Names U24 Selects

All-star rugby is still very much alive in the Midwest, and the Wisconsin U24 program is a prime example. After tryout camps in December, January and February, the select side coaching staff named 27 players and two injury reserves to its 2020 travel squad.

Collegians comprise the majority of the selections, with 10 teams from Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula represented. Two senior clubs – Wisconsin and Milwaukee Scylla – have also sent teammates to the select side. Maggie Hackett (UW Madison), Olivia Juel (Milwaukee Scylla), Margaret Knight (At Large) and Lillian Strehlow (UW Eau Claire) have been named captains.

The Wisconsin U24s will play a warm-up fixture in early April and then travel to the Midwest U24 LAU Tournament, the western portion of which assembles on April 18-19 in Iowa Falls, Iowa. The eastern half of the territory will compete on April 25-26 in Erie, Pa., and the Midwest U24 staff, which includes Wisconsin U24 head coach Xanthi Gerasimo, will scout both tournaments for talent. Players will then be invited to the Midwest U24 invitational tryout on May 31 in Milwaukee, and final selections will be added to touring squads.
