Nine Southern California athletes, including five from Orange County, are on the 12-player USA Volleyball squad currently competing in the International Volleyball Federation Boys Under-19 World Championship tournament that runs through Aug. 11 in San Juan, Argentina.
Selected from a pool of 20 candidates who gathered July 23–29 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, the group includes four from Orange County who were members of the U.S. entry that won a gold medal in the Pan Am Cup in Guatemala City in March.
