Naperville North graduate Samer Elshafei was named to the 2008 U.S. Men's Junior National Training Team as a middle blocker on Tuesday.

The Ohio State freshman was one of 19 players named to the team that will practice at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif, beginning in mid June. The team will be cut to 12 players prior to the NORCECA Under-21 Continental Championship, which will be held in El Salvador on June 30-July 5.

That tournament is a qualifier for the 2009 FIVB Men's Junior World Championship.
