For the women’s team, Kelly Griffin and Sammy Sullivan will run the squad. Griffin captained the USA during their first Olympic foray in 2016, and has since moved on to be Head Coach at UCSB.
The former USA captain also has coached in PR7s, leading the Loonies to the inaugural women’s title in 2021 in Memphis.
A smart playmaker and focused rugby mind, Griffin’s coaching approach is not dissimilar to that of USA Head Coach Emilie Bydwell.
Griffin will be assisted by Sullivan. A captain in the US Army and part of the Bronze Medal-winning USA team in Paris, Sullivan is taking a break from playing to recover from injury. This has freed her up to work more closely with PR7s All-Stars and flex her coaching muscles.
Sullivan was also the 2019 Prusmack Award winner as the top women’s collegiate 7s player, earning the award as a standout for West Point.
