Iowa’s Hannah Stuelke will get some international experience this summer.
Stuelke was selected to join the USA Basketball Women’s AmeriCup roster on Thursday. USA Basketball announced the roster after three days of trials in at the U.S. Olympic Training Center.

Iowa State’s Audi Crooks is also on the team that includes Raegan Beers, Mikayla Blakes, Madison Booker, Joyce Edwards, Hannah Hidalgo, Flau’jae Johnson, Gianna Kneepkens, Olivia Miles, Kennedy Smith, and Grace VanSlooten.
Beers, Crooks, Johnson, Kneepkens and Stuelke will be making their competitive debuts with USA Basketball.
Duke coach Kara Lawson will serve as head coach with assistant coaches DeLisha Milton-Jones (Old Dominion University) and Jennie Baranczyk (University of Oklahoma).
The U.S. team will open Group B with host nation Chile, followed by Colombia, Puerto Rico and Mexico. The winner of the AmeriCup will earn a berth to the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup, set for Berlin next summer.
Since the event’s inception in 1993, the United States has captured four AmeriCup gold medals, including titles in 2019 and 2021.
