As this school year closes out, it’s time to reflect on all the successes the dedicated Falcons had this season. This season Fanshawe brought home some big titles, hardware, and lots of good memories.

The school year opened strong, with Fanshawe winning big at the CCAA Golf National Championship.

The men’s team won a silver medal, just missing the gold by two strokes. Individually, golf star Luke Evans clinched the national gold medal, finishing four-over for the tournament. His teammate, Ben Landers, earned the bronze medal with a plus-12 overall score.

Evans joined the Interrobang on the Red Couch Podcast to talk about all things golf and all the exciting success, telling the Interrobang it’s been a long time coming, and came with a lot of hard work.

Fanshawe’s women’s curling team brought home the OCAA gold championship title. Parker Doig was named Most Valuable Player and a First Team Champion All-Star.

Head coach Barry Westman earned OCAA Women’s Curling Coach of the Year honours.

The team then headed out to Alberta to compete in the national championships, where they played proudly and finished in 5th place.

The Fanshawe men’s volleyball team then brought home an OCAA bronze, marking their third year with a podium finish. The birds were beaten out by Humber College, before Humber went on to win the gold medal.

Head coach Patrick Johnston shared that next year will be a big year for the birds, with new opportunities to bring home banners.

“We have a really strong core back and lots of good recruits coming in. Humber who beat us, are graduating their whole starting line. Everyone’s gone. So, this was like the peak of their cycle. So that’s great news for us,” Johnston said.

Fanshawe is home to numerous athletic teams that are stacked with athletes who are passionate about what they do.

There is no doubt that even if some of these teams go unmentioned or didn’t bring home national or provincial titles this year, their individual athletic success and their hard work and training do not go unnoticed.

That’s a look at another successful season with standout performances from our athletes. The birds will return next year for another season of sports at Fanshawe College.
