Ichigo only recently awakened his Quincy powers. Whether Karin and Yuzu have such powers too, are unknown. But in any case, none of them had awakened, active Quincy powers when the Auswählen took place.

I've been thinking about this and I suspect that all Gemischt Quincy might be born with their powers dorment, just like Ichigo's were only awakened when he tried to escape Quilge's cage.

If a pure-blooded Quincy is in some way required to awaken the powers, then that would explain why Yuzu and Karin haven't shown any signs of having Quincy powers so far.

Ryuken is the most obvious candidate to awaken their powers, but since they're so young, it seems unlikely he would actually consider doing such a thing.
