I think she looks 6-3. Rasmussen is next to her and looks about right at 6-1, but Dorr looks the shortest and she's supposed to be 6-2.
Nice article on Kessler http://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/2014/...-the-grade which lists her as 6-3 this time.

(You have to watch the silly video ad before it will let you view the article, but it's a pretty short video.)
From the article:

The selection was the culmination of several months of hard work for Kessler, who worked tirelessly with personal trainers Mihai Raducanu and Dana John, sometimes up to four hours per day.

“It helped me with my skills, confidence and approach,” Kessler said. “I’m eager to put that hard work into practice.”

Team Canada head coach Rich Chambers said he noticed a big change in Kessler’s physique over the last few months.

“She came into camp unbelievably fit,” Chambers said. “Her body shape has changed quite dramatically in the last four or five months. She hired a personal trainer and got herself incredibly fit.”

Chambers loves what Kessler, who has gold, silver and bronze OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) medals to her credit, brings to the floor.

“She’s a great screener and runs the floor extremely well,” Chambers said. “She’s always around the ball. She’s starting to finish around the hoop. “We’re working with her, not letting her put the ball and the floor and just keeping it high.”
