SOUTH BEND — Skylar Diggins is already busy as a bee. You can add another possible couple of trips to her schedule.

Diggins has been invited to tryout next week in Colorado Springs, CO, to make the Team USA U-19 team that will play in July in the World Championships in Thailand.

Diggins did something similar last summer for the U-18 team that went 5-0 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The future Notre Dame recruit averaged 10 points, 3 boards, and 3 assists in those five games.

"We’re thrilled that Skylar has been invited by USA Basketball to compete in this year’s U19 National Team Trials,” Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw said. “She already has experienced a great deal of success representing our country on the international level and I’m confident that will only continue this summer. She will be an excellent ambassador for not only our program, but the University and the South Bend community as a whole, and we are all looking forward to following her progress during next week’s trials in Colorado.”
