Congratulations to Ford Witt who won the Golden Bear Invitational, at the University of Alberta, this past weekend. Ford wrestled in the 56 kilogram weight division, which had fourteen wrestlers in it. He dominated his four matches that all resulted in a ten point superiority technical fall, or by a pin, which led him to win the tournament with no points scored against him.

Congratulations to the JV Lady Lakers who had a great week of basketball. On Wednesday the girls posted a dominating 65-26 win over WH Croxford.
