This one elevated.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Held just ahead of Triple Crown NIT, some of the country's top high school athletes gathered under the Under Armour spotlight for elite training, fast-paced competition, and real-time evaluation. The intensity was real. The tempo was demanding. Every rep carried weight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And when it mattered most, athletes delivered.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This article highlights the High School Camp MVPs, including California's [player_tooltip player_id='906588' first='Avery' last='Masters'], who rose to the moment and earned MVP honors through composure, competitive discipline, and repeatable execution under pressure. It also recognizes Arizona's [player_tooltip player_id='774402' first='Tessa' last='Larkin'], who turned preparation into opportunity and earned a coveted invitation, reinforcing what many already see in her game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In addition, we are recognizing the Middle School Camp MVPs, athletes who didn't just stand out among their peers but earned an invite back to compete in the High School Camp Series in 2027. That opportunity is not handed out lightly. It signals readiness, maturity, and the ability to compete at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Under Armour created the stage.
