While the Fergus men’s golf team struggled to navigate the narrow fairways at the East Glacier Golf Course, their female counterparts were making history with a team score of 379. The Fergus Coaches Brett Thackeray and Keithon Walter believe that is the lowest score ever posted by a women’s team in FHS history.
Kinsey Irvin continued to lead the FHS women’s team by taking first place with a score of 80. Irvin’s veteran teammates, Abby Gremaux and Madison Lewis, finished second and third at the meet with scores of 93 and 94, respectively.

However, after looking back at the past few years, the LAC renovation should be deemed nothing short of a success. In fact, this multimillion-dollar project is a superb representation of what can be accomplished when a community comes together.
