Brown, Crooks, Stuelke invited to trials

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Iowa State’s Addy Brown and Audi Crooks and the University of Iowa’s Hannah Stuelke are three of 21 collegiate women’s basketball players invited to the 2025 USA Women’s AmeriCup Team Training Camp.

Training camp will take place from June 16-24 and will be held at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The beginning of training camp will include a Trials for the final team selection. The Junior National Team Committee is responsible for Trials and team selection.

Ten nations from North, South and Central America and the Caribbean will take part in the 2025 AmeriCup, held June 28 to July 6 in Santiago, Chile. The 2025 USA Women’s AmeriCup Team will open Group B with host nation Chile, followed by Colombia, Puerto Rico and Mexico. The winner of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup will earn a berth to the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup, set to be held in Berlin next summer.

Duke’s Kara Lawson will serve as head coach with assistant coaches DeLisha Milton-Jones (Old Dominion) and Jennie Baranczyk (Oklahoma). They will be assisted by court coaches Jim Flanery (Creighton) and Robyn Fralick (Michigan State) at trials.

Crooks is fresh off one of the most productive sophomore campaigns in the nation, averaging a Big 12 Conference -best 23.4 points per game while shooting 60.5 percent from the floor. She became the fastest Cyclone and third-fastest Big 12 women’s basketball player to score 1,000 career points, reaching the milestone in just 49 games. The Algona native is a two-time unanimous all-Big 12 selection and was named third-team All-America by both The Associated Press and the US Basketball Writers Association in 2025.

Brown averaged 15.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game last season. She is the only Cyclone to finish a season with at least 400 points, 250 rebounds and 150 assists, completing the feat in both 2023-24 and 2024-25. She earned second-team all-Big 12 honors.

Stuelke is 1-of-7 participants that will be making their USA Basketball debuts. She is coming off her second-straight season of being named second-team all-Big Ten after averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. Stuelke became the 44th Hawkeye to eclipse 1,000 career points.
