Competing for the Junior Women in the individual event will be three veterans of the U.S. team that placed second at the World Team Championships hosted at Harvard University in Cambridge last July. Mary Elena Ubina (CT), the top ranked GU19 player in the country will lead the way for the U.S., along with Sabrina Sobhy (NY) and Olivia Fiechter (PA).
The individual competition will take place from July 7th-12th, followed by the team event, July 13th-19th. The U.S. teams will be coached by Adam Hamill and Meredeth Quick.
