AMES, Iowa – Iowa State women's basketball signee Lexi Donarski was named to the roster for the 2020 McDonald's All-American game. She is the first Cyclone signee to be named a McDonald's All-American.
Donarski is 5-10 guard who hails from La Crosse, Wis., and a three-year starter at Aquinas High School. Donarski is a two-time La Crosse Tribune Player of the year and has led the Blugold to back-to-back state championships and an 82-2 overall record in the last three seasons. Donarski was rated the No. 12 overall prospect by ESPN, and is the highest-rated recruit ever to sign with the Cyclones.
This summer, she was invited to Steph Curry's SC30 Elite Camp in California, and was also recently named to the Jersey Mike's Naismith High School Girls Trophy Midseason List, which honors the top high school player in the nation. Donarksi is a member of WI Fight Elite, an accomplished AAU program that claimed a 2018 Adidas National Championship and most recently a trip to the Under Armour Association Final Four.
"What a great honor for Lexi and her family," head coach Bill Fennelly said. "The McDonald's All-American game has become one of the biggest showcases for the best seniors in the nation. For Lexi to be among that group is a dream come true and validates the hard work that she has put in over the years."
Donarski is one of four signees for the 2020-21 season that made up ISU's highest-ranked signing class, at No. 7 in the nation.
The game will be played at the Toyota Center in Houston on April 1 and the game will be televised by ESPN and ESPN2.
