Shannon Herlihy was a young competitor that left too soon. She was always happy and would light up a room or the logger sports field. She travelled to the shows with her family that she adored and was proud of. She tried her hand at several events, axe throw, double buck and jack and jill with her Dad, Brian Herlihy. While she was good at every event she tried she was known for sawing skills. 

At the end of each season the points of all lady sawing events, single buck, double buck, and jack and jill, are tallied up. The overall female competitor is then awarded a trophy in memory of Shannon.
