Ariel Kupritz Earns Nike Top 100 Soccer Player Status
Ariel Kupritz, of the Blount United Soccer Club, was one of only two Tennessee players in the 1995 girls age group to make the Region 3 Olympic Development Soccer Squad. Region 3 consists of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, North Texas,South Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. Because of her efforts at the Olympic Development Camp, Kupritz was selected as one of the "Nike Top 100" soccer players in the United States representing the U-14 age group. Ariel's selection for this honor was all the more remarkable because she played the whole region camp with an undiagnosed fractured right fibula. This injury kept her from competing to make the U-14 National Team.
