Jayne invited to try out for U.S. national women's team

Jayne, Maya Moore and Tina Charles have been invited to participate in the first practice sessions for the U.S. national women's basketball team Sept. 30-Oct. 6 in Washington, D.C.

Geno Auriemma, the national team head coach, announced that they are the only three college players that have been invited. He said, "We need to see how good they are in relation to the professionals."

It is not clear at this point whether Jayne, who is still recovering from knee surgery, will attend the training camp.

The practice session begins a process that will lead to the selection of the 12-member 2012 U.S. Olympic team. The first major competition for the squad will be the 2010 World Championship in Prague, Czech Republic.
