Congratulations Anika Jackson, Temwa Chileshe and Georgia Robcke

Three Waikato teenagers have been selected to represent New Zealand in the upcoming World Junior Champs, next month in Chennai, India

A large contingent of New Zealand’s rising squash players have been confirmed for the men’s and women’s world junior individual champs followed by the biennial men’s world junior team championships next month in Chennai, India.

Players coming from a wide range of experience and with an eye on the future have been selected. Waikato’s Anika Jackson has been selected for India along with Temwa Chileshe in the boys team, while Georgia Robcke (Waikato) has been named in a development spot. Waikato's Phil Buscke will also be attending as one of the girls coaches.

“The players have been through a particularly rigorous selection process this year. The broadening of the team to include development players gives some the opportunity to prepare for future events that was not previously available. Following the inspirational Commonwealth Games results the players selected will be wanting to replicate this success,” said Shelley Kitchen, high performance manager Squash NZ.

The Men’s and Women’s World Junior Individual Championships take place at the Indian Academy, Chennai from 18-23 July followed by the biennial World Junior Team Championships. All players named to represent New Zealand will be taking part in this month’s national senior championships in Henderson.
