Perry & Venditti Earn PWCA All-Academic Honors

It takes a great deal for an athlete to achieve success in the sport of wrestling.  It takes an enormous commitment for a student to achieve success in academics.

It takes a special breed of student-athlete to be able to excel in both.

There are many students that are able to rise toward the top of their class.  Their are many athletes that are able to rise to the top in wrestling.  More importantly, there are many top-notch wrestlers who are unable to achieve success in academics and become limited or restrained in furthering their education in college.

What makes one truly stand-out, something that separates them from the crowd, is the ability to excel both academically and in the sport of wrestling.

A champion is a person that dedicates his self to excellence in all that he does.  Whether it's in the classroom or on the wrestling mat, a champion is going to focus and dedicate himself to an unwavering work ethic to succeed in accomplishing those goals that lie ahead of him.  Simply put, to be the best one must strive to be the best in all that you do.  The key words are "in all that you do."

The Berwick Wrestling Program is proud to announce that the following Dawgs have separated themselves from the crowd by both their academic and wrestling achievements.

Special Note:  This may be the first time in years that District 2 did not select an all-academic wrestling team.  This webmaster has always combined coverage of both state and district academic honors.  In past years, the District 2 Wrestling Coaches Association held an outstanding dinner ceremony to recognize student-wrestlers in the district.  If District 2 decides to make a late announcement this summer, such information will be posted at that time.

Tyler Perry, PWCA All-Academic
The Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association selected up-coming senior Tyler Perry to it's 2005-2006 honorable mention all-academic team.  Tyler was also a PWCA and District 2 all-academic honoree last year.  This past season, Tyler notched 3rd Place at the PIAA District 2 AAA Championship Tournament and is a 3-time district medalist.  Tyler compiled an impressive 3.646 GPA and the PWCA 2nd team cut-off was an outstanding 3.81.  Entering his senior season, Tyler has a great chance to eclipse the all-time career win record in the history of Berwick Wrestling.

Nick Venditti, PWCA All-Academic
The Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association selected up-coming junior Nick Venditti to it's 2005-2006 honorable mention all-academic team in this his first year of eligibility.  Nick was also a District 2 all-academic honoree last year.  This past season, Nick captured 5th Place at the PIAA District 2 AAA Championship Tournament and is a 2-time district medalist.  Nick compiled an impressive 3.486 GPA and the PWCA 2nd team cut-off was an outstanding 3.49 (it doesn't get any closer than 1/100 of a point).  Expect big things from Nick next year both on the mat and in the classroom.

Congratulations Tyler & Nick!!
