Peru State College Athletics

(Peru, Neb.) – The July Peru State athletes of the month are Deonte McReynolds (Chicago) and Noah Kasbohm (Nebraska City).
 
Athletic Director Wayne Albury announced his decision recently and it was due to the fact that the two student-athletes were recently named as two of the five winners of Heart of America Athletic Conference awards.
 
McReynolds was named with the winner of the Heart’s Emil S. Liston Award while Kasbohm won the A.O. Duer Award.
 
Kasbohm became the eighth Bobcat to earn a conference recognition for the A.O. Duer Award. The Duer Award is named in honor of the NAIA’s former executive secretary who served the association for 26 years. It is presented to a student-athlete in any sport who has excelled in scholarship, character, and citizenship. A nominee must have a grade point average of at least 3.75 on a 4.0 scale and has to be at least a junior academically.
 
The NAIA will announce the national winners in September.
 
Athletic director Albury noted, “Any time an institution has student-athletes as winners at the conference levels, then obviously they are deserving of earning our monthly recognition.”
