Shannon Warner became a high school golf legend at Livonia Churchill with back-to-back MHSAA Finals championships during the springs of 2006 and 2007. 

Few since have approached her incredible scores shot during those title runs at Michigan State University. 

Warner's two-round 136 at Forest Akers East in the 2006 Lower Peninsula Division 1 Final remains the lowest 36-hole Finals score in MHSAA history, one stroke better than Whitehall's Laura Kueny on that same course in LP Division 3 in 2005. Warner's score also remains five strokes lower than the next lowest in LP Division 1 and Class A history, scores of 141 shot by Rochester's Amy Meier in 2008 and Grandville's Stacy Snider in 1998. Warner's rounds of 67 and 69 in 2006 rank first and tied for third, respectively, in LP Division 1 Finals history for 18 holes. 

An individual Finals qualifier in 2006, Warner won by 11 strokes over Meier, Lake Orion's Darby Peters and Grand Blanc's Ashley Bauer. Warner also was an individual qualifier in 2007 when she shot a 145 at Forest Akers West to best Meier by five strokes. Warner's 145 ranks as the fifth-lowest 36-hole Finals score in LP Division 1/Class A history. She then made the 2007 fall Finals with her team (the first LP Girls Golf Finals played in the fall), tying for fifth.

Warner played her first three collegiate seasons at Michigan State University and finished her college career in 2012 at Eastern Michigan University, earning first-team all-Mid-American Conference honors as a senior. She won the Golf Association of Michigan Women's Championship in 2013 and made the match play semifinals of the GAM Women's Amateur Championships last month.

GAASTRA — Iron Mountain's Reidet Husing shot a tournament-low 99 on Wednesday to capture the medalist honor and lead the Mountaineers to the team title as well at the MHSAA Upper Peninsula Division 2 Girls Golf Final at the George Young Recreational Complex in Iron County. 

The Mountaineers as a team shot 469, nearly 30 strokes lower than runner-up Munising, which carded a 495. The team title was Iron Mountain’s sixth and first since 2016.

Husing, a sophomore and multi-sport spring athlete, is primarily a soccer player for the Mountaineers.

"It feels pretty good to come here and win," she said. "The greens were really fast and hard to judge, but I think I played pretty good."

Iron Mountain golfHost West Iron County was third with a 518, as the Wykons were led by Madison Berutti, who tied Jenna Matson of Munising with a 104 for the individual runner-up honor. 

Iron Mountain's Natalia Brown finished eighth with a 119, two shots better than teammate Lily Verette who carded a 121 for a ninth place finish. Bella Rosenthal shot a 130 and Lulu McCash carded a 152 to round out the Mountaineers lineup. 

Maizy Brown of St. Ignace with 105, Hannah Larson of Bark River-Harris with 109, Peyton Cole of Stephenson at 110 and Kya Dallavalle of West Iron at 116 finished fourth through seventh, respectively. Logan Peters of Munising shot a 122 to round out the top 10. 

Stephenson's 530 was good enough for a fourth-place team finish, followed by Bark River-Harris with a 539, Hancock with a 548 and Pickford with a 549.
