Domer Named Gatorade's National HS AOY!

Brianna Turner was just named Gatorade's National High School Athlete of the Year tonight!!!

This makes "back to back" years for Notre Dame student-athletes receiving this award.  Last year Morgan Andrews (Notre Dame women's soccer) received this honor.  It's the third in five years for Notre Dame student-athletes -- as Skylar Diggins received this honor in 2009.

Turner, the nation's top women's high school basketball player was in Los Angeles tonight to receive the award.  Brianna is already enrolled at Notre Dame and will be counted on BIG TIME this season for Muffet's squad.
