Walker and Henrich Called Up To USA Rugby Falcons

HANOVER, N.H.—USA Rugby recently announced its USA Falcons 7s squad for the upcoming EAAST 7s Elite Development Tournament in Cognac and Haguenau, France. Following outstanding 7s seasons, Dartmouth's Katelyn Walker and Annie Henrich have been called up to the team.

Walker just wrapped up her junior season and played a huge role in both 15s and 7s. Walker scored 50 points for the Big Green in 7s including five at the CRAA 7s National Championships. Following the national championship, Walker was named Most Outstanding Player for the tournament. In 15s play, she scored eight tries for the Big Green.

Henrich had a breakout first season with the Big Green as she led the team in scoring in 15s and was second on the team in scoring during 7s. In the Ivy 7s Tournament, the Orchard Park, N.Y. native tallied 28 points on four tries and four conversions. During 15s play she led the team with nine tries and 31 conversions.

Dartmouth head coach Katie Dowty is proud to see both Walker and Henrich on the world stage "Katelyn and Annie both had stand-out 7s seasons and are very deserving of the opportunity to show what they can do at the international level. I have no doubt they will be game changers at the next level as well. They both have incredible work rate and do the little things consistently well. Annie has the highest work rate in the midfield of any player I've ever seen, and Katelyn's finishing ability and speed has consistently led us to wins in high pressure moments. More importantly, they are both incredible leaders who drive elite performance behaviors. They both have incredibly bright futures in the game, and this is an exciting step on that journey."

The USA Rugby Falcons is the top development team for the Women's National Team which features multiple Dartmouth alums including Ariana Ramsey '22 and Hann Humphreys '23.

Humphreys will join Walker and Henrich in France with the tournament beginning May 31^st and running through June 8^th.
