"Sue is an exceptionally dedicated coach and professor. Our Lambton College Firefit Team was outstanding this year, and we would not have achieved this success without her continued leadership and commitment to our students,” said Bettridge. "I am thrilled to see Sue’s hard work recognized and very proud of our team’s performance all season. Everyone did an excellent job representing Lambton College on the national and world stage."
