It's the most prestigious honor any high school athlete can achieve -- becoming Gatorade Athlete of the Tear. From track & field to football, an athlete has to shine in his/her sport, have great grades and make a difference in their community to be nominated. Some of the past winners include: LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Kevin Love and Alyson Felix, just to name a few. This year we were on hand along with the top 12 nominees as the winners were announced.
