On March 5, Mt. Lebanon High School celebrated its winter 2025-26 varsity letter winners, recognizing the hard work, dedication and achievements of its student-athletes both on the field and in the classroom.
This season, 202 student athletes across three boys’ teams and three girls’ teams and four co-ed teams earned varsity letters. Eleven seniors reached a rare milestone by earning their fourth varsity letter, marking years of consistent excellence. One student – Caleb Rapkin – earned his fifth varsity letter in Bocce.
Student-athletes are also recognized for their academic success through the Scholar-Athlete Awards and the Athletic Director’s Team Award. Scholar-Athlete Award recipients are posted on the district website. Academic honors are recognized as follows:
• Mt. Lebanon Scholar-Athlete Award: 4.0 GPA
• Blue Devil Scholar-Athlete Award: 3.5–3.99 GPA
• Lebo Scholar-Athlete Award: 3.0–3.49 GPA
Winter sports academic awards are based on the first semester grades. The academic honors achieved by the student-athletes are next to their names below.
The Athletic Director’s Team Award, presented to the team with the highest cumulative GPA, went to the boys swimming team.
The Honor the Game Award was given to Adam Burich (Rifle) and Jaclyn Harpst (Cheerleading). This award is given to student-athletes who exemplify the highest standards of sportsmanship. The award reflects the ROOTS principles of positive play: respect for Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates and Self. Each team nominated one player who best embodied these values throughout the season.
One male and one female athlete are selected from all programs for the overall Honor the Game Award. Their names are added to a perpetual plaque displayed in the Hall of Champions. This year’s winners are Kris Kambitsis (football) and Mollie Gill (field hockey).
Congratulations to all the student-athletes — and a heartfelt thank-you to the coaches whose leadership, encouragement and commitment help make each season meaningful and memorable.
