Lexus of Richmond Announces Pursuit of Perfection Leadership Award

RICHMOND, Va., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- For the 14th year Lexus ofRichmond has participated in recognizing one outstanding high school senior scholar-athlete for the Annual Lexus of Richmond Pursuit of Perfection Leadership Award. Thirty students were finalists in this competition, and each week over the school year an individual nominee was featured on WRLH FOX Richmond each Friday evening during FOX NEWS AT TEN's FOX FIRST SPORTS. Highlights included their scholastic and athletic achievements and their community activities. Each of the finalists demonstrated total commitment to hard work both in the classroom and on the field of play.
