The Bucknell wrestling program held its end-of-season banquet on campus inside Hunt Hall this past Saturday evening and head coach Dan Wirnsberger and his coaching staff recognized this year's team award winners and celebrated a successful season that concluded with two All-Americans and a 27th-place showing at the NCAA Championships. The two All-Americans - senior Andy Rendos and junior Kevin LeValley - shared the prestigious William A. Graham IV Most Outstanding Wrestler Award, given annually to the Bison grapplers who perform best at the NCAA Championships.

Congratulations to all of the award winners and to the Bison wrestlers for their accomplishments throughout the season.

We have been so busy getting ready for camp that I have not had a chance to post to recognize Kevin LeValley for his outstanding accomplishment in winning the University World Team Trials. Kevin was one of Bucknell's two All American's this past season and has been one of the most fun people to work with. Congratulations Kevin.

LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell All-American wrestler Kevin LeValley (Hugo, Colo./Limon) claimed the 66-kilogram title at the Fila University World Team Trials on Friday night in his home state, earning him a guarantee of at least a wrestle-off for a spot in October's University World Games in Torino, Italy.

LeValley, who became just the fifth different Bison wrestler to claim All-America honors this past March when he finished seventh at 149 pounds at the NCAA Championships, pinned two-time All-American Jimmy Kennedy of the Illini Wrestling Club in the championship match on Friday to win the title.
