TRU Players,

Thank you again for committing to the TRU tryout weekend and the TRU warm-up weekend. You all played very well and brought some heavy competition to the team this year. This was the hardest selection ever since we had to take a squad of 50+ girls down to only 28! Please remember that you are all worthy of trying out for the West if you would like to participate on Sunday please let me know.
