Long after his graduation this June from Mt. Lebanon, Andrei Tudorascu will be remembered. His name and photo will appear along with three of his teammates on the school’s Hall of Fame.

Tudorascu assured his spot on the Wall of Champions when he helped guide the 400-yard freestyle relay to victory at the WPIAL finals held March 3 at the University of Pittsburgh’s Trees Pool. Tudorsacu led off the unit that consisted of William Stilley, Sangay Lama and Chase Dustevich. The foursome produced the fastest time, a 3:09.20 to place atop the podium and gain the gold medal.

Tudorsacu also led the medley relay team to a fourth-place finish. The group also included Ryan Frank, Jacob Burton and Dustevich.

Individually, Tudorsacu took home a silver medal in the butterfly. His time of 49.73 was a scant .31 off the winning pace set by North Allegheny’s William Gao. Tudorsacu also finished fourth in the 100 freestyle, posting a 47.03 time.

Thanks to his efforts, Mt. Lebanon took third in the team standings at the WPIAL Championships, behind champion North Allegheny and runner-up Seneca Valley.

Tudorsacu was the top area finisher and medalist at the PIAA Championships. During the Class 3A finals held at Bucknell University, he earned eighth place in the 100 butterfly. He also helped Lebo’s medley relay team win its B final with a 1:34.84 time.

Tudorascu will attend the University of Pittsburgh in the fall.
