Huntingdon Valley Native Named To All-American Golf Team

HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA — Huntingdon Valley resident Brian Isztwan has been named to the All-American golfing team.

Isztwan, a senior at William Penn Charter School, was named to the 2017 Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-America Team by the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) this week.

A total of 12 men and 12 women from around the nation are chosen for the team.

All selections for the team "demonstrate the ability to excel not only on the golf course, but also in the classroom and the community," AJGA said.

“Since joining the golf team in his eighth grade year, Brian has been an integral piece of the Penn Charter golf program,” said Travis Larrabee, head golf coach at Penn Charter. “He is an excellent golfer who is clearly committed to his craft. What is perhaps even more impressive about Brian is the respect he affords the game of golf in general. Great golfers are judged by their scores, but they also separate themselves by knowing, honoring and enforcing the rules and traditions of the game. This speaks not only to ability, but to integrity. Brian has abundant amounts of both.”

Isztwan has posted a record of 500-42-22 in his junior and senior seasons, including winning the Inter-Academic League championship the last two years. He is currently ranked in the top 100 nationwide among members of the class of 2018 by AJGA, Junior Golf Scoreboard, and Golfweek, according to Penn Charter.
