International Utes Head Off for Summer Journeys
Having finished a session of summer classes, guard Tyler Kepkay and forward Kim Tillie are leaving today to play with their respective national teams in Canada and France.

Kepkay will be trying out for the Canadian national team at a camp in Toronto, potentially landing a place on the Olympic team for the 2008 Beijing Games. The Canadians still must qualify for the Olympics, though, at a last-chance tournament in Greece next month. In preparation, they will play a five-game exhibition series against Lebanaon and New Zealand starting June 30.

Meanwhile, Tillie will play with France's Under-20 national team as it prepares for the U-20 European Championship in Latvia at the start of August.
