Hunting Hills student wins bronze at provincial golf championship
A Grade 10 student at Hunting Hills High School, Raylee Denton, secured herself a bronze medal at the 2024 Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association High School Golf Provincial Championship in Grande Prairie in September.
Denton competed against 72 golfers from Grades 10-12 and earned her spot at provincials by taking first place at zones with a score of 72. In Grande Prairie she played two rounds, shooting 75-78 to finish third.
“It felt amazing to win bronze,” she said. “I knew the competition would be tough since I’m familiar with many of the other players, but I stayed calm and trusted in my skills.”
Matt Tillapaugh, teacher and coach at Hunting Hills, expressed his pride in Denton’s achievements.
