GRR: Pan-Am Games
With all the talk about Olympic qualification for the USA 7s teams, it’s important to remember that there’s another Olympic-style event on a nearer horizon-the Pan Am Games.
USA Women's 7s Head Coach Emilie Bydwell has named the squad to compete in the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.
The Games run from October 20 to November 5, with the 7s tournament running November 3-4.
The Pan-Am Games rugby competition kicks off Friday in Lima, Peru with both the women's and men's events logging one pool game on the first day.
The schedule is as follows:
Game times are local time (same as Central Time)
9:50AM: Colombia vs Argentina Women
10:15AM: USA vs Trinidad & Tobago Women
10:40AM: Brazil vs Peru Women
