Every year the Kansas City Star honors its list of Senior Scholar Athletes for each school in the Metro area. There are a lot of schools and I may have missed someone so if I did please let us know. I found three Kansas seniors who wrestled during their high school careers listed as their schools honoree for the 2011 Scholar Athlete. Here are the three I saw:
