Anna has become part of a 30+ year legacy that includes past winners such as Peyton Manning, Abby Wambach, Karl-Anthony Towns, Derek Jeter, and many other sports icons.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program is proud to recognize the nation’s most elite high school athletes for not only athletic excellence, but also for high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character. Roughly 5.7 million kids play the Gatorade Player of the Year sports – only 607 are named Gatorade State Player of the Year! Through the Gatorade Play It Forward initiative, Gatorade will donate $1,000 to a sport-based organization of Anna’s choosing.
