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.

HARRIS — The Negaunee girls golf team enjoyed a historic Wednesday at Sage Run.
The Miners carded a 383 to win the Upper Peninsula Division 1 Final by 24 strokes – with the championship the program’s first after previous runner-up finishes in 2000 and 2022, and a distant fourth place only a year ago.
Returning four golfers from last year’s Finals lineup, Negaunee placed three golfers among the top nine in the individual standings this time. Junior Adyson Crookham finished third with an 89, with senior Kennidy Glasheen tied for fourth at 90 and senior Sonya Erva tied for eighth at 98.
Escanaba finished second as a team with 407 strokes, followed by Kingsford with 426, Calumet at 430 and Marquette at 440.
Escanaba senior Kamrie Scott finished on top of the individual leaderboard for the third-straight season with a score of 83. She became the 16th golfer to win at least three Finals girls individual championships, and second from her school joining four-time winner Paxton Johnson (2016-19).
Scott got in some trouble on the front nine, but turned it around on the back as she parred five straight holes and had a birdie at 16 before ending the day with a pair of bogeys.
“I started off rough,” Scott said. “My putting came together on the back nine and really improved the day.”
Sault Ste Marie freshman Renee Guam finished in second place with a score of 87, with a birdie on the 16th hole. Menominee senior Lexi Marineau tied for fourth with Glasheen. Marineau had a birdie on the 16th hole and parred the last two. Glasheen scored a birdie on the 18th hole.
Kingsford sophomore Charlotte Todd and Calumet freshman Cali Hodges tied for sixth with 95 strokes. Todd struggled on the back nine but was able to birdie the 16th and parred the last two holes of the day. Hodges did not have any birdies but parred on the last two holes on the front nine and also the first hole of the back.
Erva and Ishpeming Westwood junior Alison Erdman tied for eighth, and Escanaba’s Lily VanDamme came in 10th place with a score of 99 that included a birdie on the 16th hole.
“We played well today as a team,” Escanaba coach Brian Robinette said. “Kamrie makes being a coach look pretty easy, but she puts in all the hard work to keep her game strong.”
Manistique senior Kyra Carlson carded a 104 and parred two of the last three holes of the day.
“I was working on being efficient with my hits,” Carlson said. “Just tried to keep them in sight and on the fairways.”
