Along with Hammons, rising sophomore Rachael Kramer and rising redshirt freshman Mia Sokolowski will have a chance to earn Team USA spots for the FIVB U20 World Championships.
Three More Gators Representing Team USA
Earlier this month, rising senior and three-time All-American Rhamat Alhassan and 2016 Olympian Kelly Murphy were added to the training roster for the U.S. Women's National Team.
Murphy, a four-time All-American with the Gators from 2008-11, most recently helped the national team to a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics last August. Alhassan won a bronze medal at the Pan American Cup with the U.S. Women's National Team last July.
Additionally, rising sophomore Darrielle King earned a spot on USA Volleyball's Collegiate National Team that will compete in Minneapolis.

Afterward, the athletes will be assigned to one of three 12-member teams and compete in a round-robin format at the Minneapolis Convention Center from June 27-30. The matches are in conjunction with the USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championships under the same roof.
