Taylor Mikesell has dreamed of playing with USA across her chest ever since she was a little girl. And as talented as the Terrapin rising sophomore is, it hasn't been as easy as one might imagine.
Mikesell's solid showing for the U.S. at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru in mid-August portends great things for her future in the red, white and blue uniform and for her return this fall to another Maryland team with lofty goals.
The Pan Am Games were Mikesell's first taste of international hoops since 2016, when she won a bronze medal with the U.S. at the FIBA U-17 World Cup. The year prior, she tried out for USA Basketball's U-16 squad but didn't make the team.
