BC Rugby has announced the 12 athletes heading to Florida to compete for the BC Bears U16 Girls 7s team. This list includes two second generation JBAA athletes: Chloe Whittaker - father is Chris Whittaker (former national team player), and Hailey Carroll - father is Eoin Carroll (played internationally in Ireland and France).
Also making the squad are JBAA’s Asia Olynyk and Leah Parsons (Leah’s grandfather played MLB)! Congratulations to all and good luck in sunny Tampa!
The team will be coached by Darcy Patterson, while the squad will also be joined by athletic therapist Sheena Kelly.
“The selection process for the BC Bears U16 Girls 7s team was very competitive and took into account performances during the Winter's ID Camps and key events throughout the BC Rugby season, including the 2023 Kamloops 7s and 2024 Vancouver Sevens Invitational.”
