Andrew Wiggins was named the 2013 Gatorade High School Male Athlete of the Year.

Wiggins is the sixth basketball player to win the award in its 11-year history and the first since Brandon Knight.

"It feels pretty good to know I'm the first Canadian to get this, so it's really big for my country," he said. "I really wanted to win it."

Kevin Love, Greg Oden, Greg Paulus, Dwight Howard and LeBron James have also won the award.
