AWARDS, RECOGNITION – National Prep School Wrestling Championships: 1935 – present Special Thanks to Larry Sheridan, son of William (Lehigh Coach & National Prep Tournament Founder), who maintained copies of all tournament brackets back to 1935. All records compiled and updated regularly by Bill X. Barron (Cardigan Mt. 1980-98, Hyde-ME 1998-2008) – e-mail any additions / corrections / suggestions to [email protected]. In certain years, the brackets did not identify consolation place-winners; please help fill in the missing information! Not all first names were listed on many early brackets; as much as possible, they have been filled in by viewing adjacent years and newspaper articles. To see & download all brackets and articles, go to https://neiswa.com/ > Leagues > National Preps. If you are unable to download these documents, email Bill and he will send it to you directly. Bill welcomes any correspondence, especially anecdotes from past wrestlers and coaches, as the history of the National Preps is always in the making. ‘GERALD LEEMAN’ OUTSTANDING WRESTLER AWARD {1947 – on} 1947 – John Mahoney – Wyoming Seminary (PA) 1948 – Bruce Mowery – Hill (PA), 136 1949 – William Carlisle, Jr. – Lawrenceville (NJ) 1950 – Clinton Blume – Trinity (NY), 155 1951 – Andrew Kaul – Hill (PA), 137 1952 – Constantine Filipos – Valley Forge (PA) 1953 – Richard Greene – Mercersburg (PA), 167 1954 – Nolan Perry – Milton Hershey (PA), 123 1955 – Louis Winner – Mercersburg (PA), 123 1956 – William Leeman – Mercersburg (PA), 136 1957 – Jerry Seckler – St. Paul’s (NY), 157 1958 – Kirk Pendleton – Bryn Athyn (PA), 148 1959 – Bob Chappell,Hill (PA),123; 1960 – John Gladish – Bryn Athyn (PA), 168 Fred Pereira,Peekskill Mil.
