Rob Diehl, left, and Brianﾠ Wang, both juniors at University Laboratory High School, are among the three area students designated as 2008 State Historian of the Year. They were in front of the school Wednesday in Urbana.
URBANA – When Rob Diehl, Brian Wang and Erica Kirk wanted to learn about history, they started in their own backyard.
What they found earned them the title of 2008 State Historian of the Year, shared among 14 of the state's high school students, who will each have their history essays published in Illinois History magazine (www.illinoishistory.gov/illinoishistory.htm).
