6/13/2022 3:24:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
DURHAM – A handful of former Blue Devils have been invited to the opening round of the tryout process for the United States Men's Lacrosse National Team in preparation for the 2023 World Lacrosse Men's Championship.
Duke head coach John Danowski, in his second cycle as the leader of the U.S. Men's National Team, worked with his staff to select 67 of the nation's top men's lacrosse players to USA Lacrosse headquarters for tryouts this week, June 14-16.
The Blue Devils invited are JT Giles-Harris, Justin Guterding, Myles Jones, Brad Smith, Michael Sowers and Cade Van Raaphorst. All six Blue Devils currently are on Premier Lacrosse League rosters. Smith and Sowers both have U19 Men's National Team experience, winning gold in the 2016 U19 FIL World Championship. Guterding, Smith and Sowers all will compete in the World Games Sixes for the United States this fall.
Following the tryout, an initial training roster of approximately 46 players will be named to participate in upcoming team activities this fall.
The 2023 World Lacrosse Men's Championship will be held from June 21 through July 1, 2023 in San Diego on the campuses of San Diego State University and the University of San Diego. A total of 30 nations are expected to compete as the U.S. looks to win its record 11th championship since the event was first held in 1967. Canada is the only other country to have won the quadrennial event, winning in 1978, 2006 and 2014. No team has repeated as champion since the U.S. won six straight championships from 1982 through 2002.
Here's the full list of U.S. team players invited to the opening tryout:
