Washington-area representin' on latest U20 squad
POSTED April 28, 9:24 PM
In case you missed it, U.S. under-20 national team coach Thomas Rongen announced an 18-man squad last weekend for an upcoming trip to England. The U-20s will face three English Premier League reserve teams in Manchester: Bolton (May 7), Manchester United (May 8) and Liverpool (May 10).

Among his 18 are two D.C. products. First, there's goalkeeper Bill Hamid, who's building up quite a resume with D.C. United's academy setup as well as DeMatha. Will he skip MLS?

Second, and far less known, is 5-foot-7 striker Derek Markheim. The Woodbridge native is an interesting story. He played his freshman year in high school at Osbourn Park, then spent a semester at Shattuck-St. Mary's in Minnesota, came back here, all the while played club soccer for McLean, and has now been at French Ligue 2 club Amiens SC for a year.  It'll be interesting to see how he does...
