Bjorn and Robinson are two-time gold medalists having competed together at the 2023 FIBA U16 Women's AmeriCup and 2024 FIBA U17 Women's World Cup. Skinner won a gold medal competing with the 2024 U17 team.
Hall was the MaxPreps National Junior of the Year and announced she's transferring to Spire Academy after spending one season at Montverde Academy. She's considered the top high school player regardless of class.
Also in that discussion is Harpring, the daughter of former NBA player Matt Harpring, and Robinson. Both are ranked in the top 10 in the Class of 2026.
Coaches for the U19 team include Teri Moren (Indiana University), Jose Fernandez (University of South Florida) and Niele Ivey (University of Notre Dame). The trio led the 2024 USA Women's U18 to gold at the FIBA U18 Women's AmeriCup last summer.
In Brno, the Americans are in Group A alongside Israel, Hungary and Korea and tip off action on July 12.
