HOOPING FOR GOLD
Top honor awarded to KU athletes
Tyshawn Taylor and Danielle McCray win gold playing for Team USA

No more than a week after coming back to the states, senior forward Danielle McCray spent an afternoon working out at the Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center, even though her coach gave her two weeks off.
"I can't stay still," McCray said. "But I guess that's a good thing."
McCray and sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor were the lone Jayhawks representing Kansas basketball for Team USA this summer. Both athletes won gold medals, McCray in the World University Games and Taylor in the U-19 division.
Both the World University Games and U-19 World Championships are held every two years. According to Team USAs Web site, the World University Games are for current or recently graduated student athletes and the U-19 are for athletes age 19 or younger. Taylor turned 19 April 12.
After Kansas' heartbreaking loss at home in the Women's National Invitational Tournament finals, McCray focused on the next best thing: the upcoming season. But in between that and the end of the season, McCray had been preparing for the Team USA tryouts for the World University games. Playing for Team USA was something McCray
said she had always dreamed of.
"I remember asking, like my high school coach, 'How do you get on Team USA?'" McCray said.
From the end of May through the middle of June, both McCray and Taylor spent time in Colorado Springs. Colo., going through the process of tryouts and cuts to make the roster for their teams.
McCray said she and Taylor would catch up after practices.
" We would just talk about n or m a l stuff," McCray said. "We were doing two-a-day practices and we wouldn't want to talk about basketball."
McCray said it was cool for both of them to be there representing Kansas basketball.
McCray said the selection process for Team USA's World University Games was "scary." The athletes sat in a room waiting to hear whether their names would be called.
"The first cut was out of 30 girls,"

Mcray said. "I had figured I did the best that I could."
After making it through the first cut, she had confidence in making the final cut.
