LANSDALE, PA - On Wednesday afternoon, over 20 student-athletes from Lansdale Catholic were recognized in front of their family members, coaches and teachers for continuing their athletic careers in college.

“I think Lansdale Catholic, especially when Mr. Tom Quintois (LC Athletic Director) came in, really turned our athletic program around. In his first year, the recruits we had increased by 10, and now this year we have 20. It is just a reflection of how well the program is developing,” said senior Noah Saba, who will play soccer at Widener University next year.
