GRR: Girls NIT
College 7s took the attention of many during May, with the continued shifts and changes in schedules meaning that while a group of college teams were in the last throes of the 15s playoffs, most were thinking about 7s glory.
It was a wild and historic season for the Saint Joseph Academy girls rugby team out of Ohio, as St. Joe's often considered a strong program, but wasn't a team that you found near the top of the Girls National Championships.
The Girls High School Single-School Nationals, hosted at Lindenwood University and sanctioned by USA Rugby, has set their schedule for the weekend of May 21-22 and confirmed all participating teams.
The 14 teams competing from around the Nation in the inaugural tournament are the following:
Broken Arrow High School, Oklahoma
The 2016 Girls High School Rugby National Tournament will bring together competitors from at least nine different states at the historic May 20th-22nd event held at Lindenwood University's Hunter C Stadium in St Charles, MO.
Although this is the 17th Annual National Tournament, this is the first ever championship to include single school brackets.
The 2016 NIT Club committee has announced that the inaugural Girls High School Club Rugby National Championship (hsgirlsrugbynationals.club) will be held at Central Washington University (CWU) in Ellensburg, Wash. May 21-22.
