WNBA star, Notre Dame alum Jackie Young gets a mural of her unveiled at elementary school
morning! WNBA All-Star festivities begin in earnest today at 2016 Indiana Miss Basketball Jackie Young (Princeton High/Notre Dame) on her trip @PCHSTigers, where she hosted a youth camp yesterday — and they unveiled a mural of her!
Former Notre Dame women's basketball player Jackie Young is taking part in WNBA All-Star festivities all weekend long in Indianapolis, as she was selected for having a strong season with the Las Vegas Aces.
The 2016 Indiana Miss Basketball at Princeton Community High hosted a youth camp Thursday, and her former elementary school unveiled a giant mural of her on the wall of the gym/cafeteria. The school has since been transformed into Gibson County's Toyota Indiana YMCA.
Young encouraged the youth to make use of the YMCA facilities, and she even said they could join her in workouts when she's home.
"This is a big deal, you know—a YMCA in Princeton, Indiana," she said. "Who would have thought?
"This place is special. I love Princeton. I'm very proud to be from here."
The mural depicts her high school, college and pro career. She had a record 20 30-point games in high school, became an NCAA champion at ND, was the 2019 WNBA No. 1 draft pick, is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time WNBA champion.
