Notre Dame visits White House with other national champions

Well, this sure was interesting timing.

For two straight years now, Notre Dame’s men’s lacrosse team has reigned atop the college world. Having won its second consecutive national championship, the team was invited to the White House along with other national champions from all over the country. The day finally has arrived, and this fantastic image on the South Lawn should warm Irish fans all over social media:

Vice President Kamala Harris hosted the event, and the fact that the Irish were in her presence and at the location they were at less than 24 hours after a major related news event is absolutely wild. This will be a story the players tell their kids and grandkids. They would have told them about visiting the White House anyway, but the timing of it all takes this to another level.
