GRR: LVI
(USA Rugby Release) - USA Rugby Boys High School All-Americans Head Coach Salty Thompson has selected an assembly squad of 16 young rugby players for this week's Las Vegas Invitational in Nevada.
The pools are set for the Boys HS Elite 7s at the Las Vegas Invitational.
Defending champions British Columbia are back, and there’s a very good chance that the final will, once again, be BC v the HS All Americans, as it has been every year.
The pools are set for the Men’s CRC Qualifier in Las Vegas, March 3-5.
There is, in fact, still room for one more team - only 23 have registered, and so one of the pools is still looking for a team.
But, with that said, here are the pools:
Pool A: AIC, Miami (Ohio), Colorado State, Ithaca 2
Pool B: Notre Dame College, James Madison, Colorado, UNLV
Women’s Cougar Rugby (BYU) has been a faithful attendee to the Las Vegas Invitational since its inception, mostly because competition is limited in Utah and the team has 15s playoffs for which to prepare. BYU is also pretty good at 7s, despite the first side’s early exit from the competition.
The Lady Stallions got their first taste of 7s last fall, as Utah Youth Rugby hosted its inaugural girls club 7s season. Orem ended up winning the state title and were curious how they’d match up against tougher competition. So they traveled to the Las Vegas Invitational and entered the Girls High School Elite 7s division.
