Team USA’s women’s wheelchair basketball team qualified for a spot in the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) Championships, with a silver medal finish in the Americas Cup on Monday.
The Americas Cup is the qualifying tournament for teams located in North, South and Central America, and the top three finishers earn a placement in the World Championships.
Team USA fell to Canada in the gold medal round on Monday, 76-68, but earned a qualifying spot for the IWBF Championship with the second place finish.
Ranley Clayton, of Alexander City, made her debut with the squad in the tournament, appearing in four games.
Clayton, 27, played collegiately with Auburn before finishing college at Illinois. Clayton and Illinois teammate Abby Farrell both joined the team in 2022 as first timers.
Team USA’s bracket consisted of Argentina, Mexico and Chile, all teams the United States beat handily.
In the opener against Mexico, Team USA won 83-27. Clayton played for 8:55 and scored four points, with one board and three assists.
Against Chile in game two, Team USA obliterated the Chileans, winning 92-14. Clayton posted a similar statline, playing almost 10 minutes with four points and two assists.
In game three against Argentina, again Team USA dominated, winning 73-33. With 6:31 of playing time, Clayton did not record a stat.
Clayton’s final appearance of the tournament came in a 68-30 victory over Brazil. In a bit over seven minutes played, Clayton grabbed two boards and dished out an assist.
Team USA’s next big test is in the World Championships in November. The tournament runs from November 16-27 and is hosted this year in Dubai.
