Carolyn’s third year was once again outstanding: she had a great year on top of her national gold medal Carolyn was a Provincial All-Star, and an All-Canadian and a National Tournament All Star, all for the second straight year. For the third straight year she earned a PACWEST academic excellence award all while leading her Heat women’s golf team to a Provincial Gold medal and a National Silver medal.
Carolyn attributes her involvement in college sport as a contributor to her success at school.
