Liebner consistently finished at the top throughout the season and was an All-American in both the classic and freestyle at the NCAA Championship as he finished eighth in the classic and ninth in the freestyle.  Liebner was named to the all-CCSA first team and won both the freestyle and classic at the CCSA Championship.  He finished second in both races at the NCAA Regional to qualify for Nationals.

“Andy is the type of athlete who never stops trying to improve on his skills and abilities to be a better athlete and person,” said NMU head coach Sten Fjeldheim.  “He maintains a high academic standard and shows great sportsmanship and leadership.  I truly enjoy working with Andy.”

Liebner holds a 3.61 grade point average in physical education and coaching.
