Head Coach Norm Howard had this to say about the team, "We had a very successful first season. I was happy with how the students-athletes competed on a weekly basis. Spencer Frith was a highlight as he was tied for first during the halfway point. The conditions were not the best but the kids continued to do their best and record the best scores."

Go Royals!
