CHICAGO (May 31, 2024) – St. Johns Country Day School girls soccer standout Sydney Schmidt, a sophomore, has returned from a trip to Turkey and has been selected to stay with the team as the U.S. Under-16 Womens Youth National Team heads to Aschaffenbrug, Germany for a June 3-12 training session with games to be played June 8 and 11 at Stadion am Schonbusch, 25 miles southeast of Frankfurt

Last month, the U-16 WYNT, with Schmidt listed as a defender, won an eight-team UEFA Friendship Tournament in Riva, Turkey with several strong performances, topping its group of Turkey, Vietnam and Botswana before defeating Paraguay in penalty kicks in the championship match.
