UConn’s Paige Bueckers Joins the Gatorade Family

Paige Bueckers continues to add to her list of accolades. Before balling at UConn, the five-star guard was crowned as the 2019 – 2020 Gatorade National Girlâ€s Basketball Player of the Year. Now, Bueckers makes history by joining an elite athlete roster, from Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Abby Wambach, Elena Delle Donne, Candace Parker, Zion Williamson, and Jayson Tatum.

“It was a blessing to win Gatorade Player of the Year in high school, and now itâ€s truly surreal to be an official member of the Gatorade Family,” Paige Bueckers said. “I know this is just the beginning of our partnership and canâ€t wait to get to work with Gatorade to drive impact in the community and on the womenâ€s game.”
