A teen from Newport Beach was recently chosen as part of the 2013 U.S. Women's Junior National Volleyball Training Team, officials announced.
Kelsey Humphreys, 18, was one of 13 players selected to begin training on June 5 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, N.Y. From there the team's roster will be narrowed down to the final 12 players who will make up the 2013 U.S. Women's Junior National Team.
On June 12 the team will represent the United States at the 2013 FIVB Volleyball Women’s U-21 World Championship being held June 21-30 in the cities of Brno and Prostejov, Czech Republic.
Humphreys, a setter, was one of three of the 2013 WJNT players who also competed on the 2012 WJNT that earned the 2012 NORCECA Women’s Junior (U-20) Continental Championship bronze medal to qualify for the 2013 FIVB World Women’s U-20 Championship.
