Hannah Stuelke is preparing for her senior season at the University of Iowa and will be traveling later this month. The 21-year-old from Cedar Rapids is often referred to as a former teammate of Caitlin Clark, but she’s also built a strong basketball career of her own.

The former Iowa Miss Basketball averaged 29.1 points per game in high school. She’s played three seasons with the Hawkeyes, reaching the NCAA Tournament title game twice. Her sophomore year was her best yet, averaging 14.0 points per game while shooting an impressive 62.7% from the field.

Now, Stuelke has another accolade to add to her resume. Iowa women's basketball recently shared the good news:

"Spot secured — @StuelkeHannah will compete for Team USA in the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup!"

The tournament begins later this month in Santiago, Chile, with the final scheduled for July 6.

Team USA has participated in the AmeriCup eight times, winning the tournament four times, second only to Brazil, which leads with six titles.

Stuelke is one of 12 players selected for the team. According to USA Basketball, the roster includes six athletes who have previously won gold medals with various national squads, including:

2024 USA U18 Women’s National Team: Joyce Edwards, Kennedy Smith

Duke head coach Kara Lawson will lead Team USA, with DeLisha Milton-Jones (Old Dominion) and Jennie Baranczyk (Oklahoma) serving as assistants. The U.S. is in Group B alongside Chile, Colombia, Puerto Rico and Mexico.
