Sewickley Academy kicked off Reunion Weekend on Oct. 8 with a Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The event took place in the EventsCenter and Means Alumni Gym, and was attended by students in grades four through 12, as well as faculty, staff, alumni, board members and other Hall of Fame members.
Inductees present were Jason Linkes, class of 1994, and George Raftis, class of 2005.
Linkes was a Most Valuable Player in 1993 and 1994, and continued his baseball career at Saint Leo University in Florida.
Raftis was voted Sewickley Academy’s best male athlete in 2005 and continued his basketball career at Allegheny College.
Katarina Lackner, class of 2005, was also nominated for her outstanding career in women’s basketball at Sewickley Academy and the University of Pennsylvania but was not able to attend the ceremony, so her induction will take place in four years at Sewickley Academy’s next Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony.
