A pair of John McGregor Panthers are this year’s recipients of the Dr. Jack Parry Awards, honouring the best in Chatham-Kent athletics and academics.
Ashley Jackson won for female athlete and says it’s an honour.
“I’ve had my eye set on the award since Grade 8,” says Jackson. “So it’s been something that’s always been in the back of my mind. So it’s been real honour… I almost cried when they announced my name.”
Kelton Evans, another John McGregor Panther, was named the top male athlete. Both win a $1,000 scholarship towards their post-secondary education.
