4 Lebo Wrestlers Earn All-State Academic Honors

Several members of the Blue Devil Wrestling Team were recently chosen for the PWCA (Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association) All-Academic Teams. Wrestlers are nominated by their coaches and selected based on a combination of grade point average and winning percentage.
 
Special congratulations to Adam Kemerer for being selected to the 1st team. Adam was one of only two WPIAL wrestlers, and the first Lebo wrestler selected for this prestigious academic honor. Adam is only a junior and wrestled 130 for Lebo this year. He is a 3x section place-winner and 3x WPIAL Qualifier.
 
Also, joining Adam was Scott Allen (Jr) who earned honorable mention. Scott qualified for the WPIAL Championships in 2009 and wrestled 171 for Lebo this year. Lebo also had two seniors make the second team. Congratulations to Andy Buttlar (Sr), and Austin VanHorn (Sr). Andy wrestled 103 and was a 3x WPIAL Qualifier and Austin wrestled 160 and was also a WPIAL Qualifier in 2009. Andy will attend Slippery Rock University next year while Austin VanHorn will be attending the University of Pittsburgh.
 
These wrestlers will join Chris Johns, who earned All-Acadmic Honors in 2009 (Second Team), as PWCA All-State Scholar-Athletes. Congratulations gentlemen!
