As Elite season heats up (see you in Phoenix in August!), the Women’s May National Team Camp featured a super-stacked roster. In addition to those selected for the Pan American Championship team, Leanne Wong, Skye Blakely, Dulcy Caylor, Joscelyn Roberson, Jayla Hang, Caroline Moreau, and Zoey Molomo (welcome back, Zoey!) were all in attendance. Could we see Jade Carey, who officially announced her return last month, at camp in June?!
