Good Times

 
The BYU Soccer girls continue to spend their summer working out, doing camps, working out, some more camps, and probably more working out.  They are lifting and running every morning, then doing camps all day, and then some free play at night.  They love it, it keeps them busy, and they are all working hard for the season that starts in just a few weeks.

Some exciting things have been going on lately.  First of all, the stadium is looking great.  It is coming together so fast, and I think they are in the finishing stages.  All the seats are up, the new lights, the grass looks amazing, and the girls are so excited to have a new stadium.  
                  
A few of the girls have been over in California participating in the U.S. Elite Player Program.  Erika Woodbury, Andrea Willis, and Jessica Carter took off to California last weekend to compete with some of the top talent in the country.  National team coaches are usually there, and it is a good opportunity for our girls to be seen.  

Finally, Katie Larkin has been traveling the world this summer.  She took off to Germany, then California and she has recently been named to the U.S. Under-23 soccer team for the prestigious Nordic Cup tournament in Sweden.  Larkin has been to 4 training camps this summer, and started in the game against the U-23 German team.  She will play England, and Norway in the tournament, and we look forward to hearing about her adventures with the National Team!  Good luck Larkin!
