BYU's four-year All-Americans

BYU cross-country runner Laura Turner could become one of only a handful of BYU athletes who have earned All-Americam accolades four years in the same sport. Part of an even more select few who have interrupted their four-year All-Americam careers, Turner could become only the second BYU athlete on record — and the first female — to serve an LDS Church mission in between All-American honors.

Below are the four-year All-American athletes, their years honored and some specific disciplines or events. Also included are notes on interrupted careers.
