Balmoral Junior Secondary School - Athletics

Athletics

From its opening, Balmoral is known for its superior rugby program. Under Coach Bob Payne in the 1960s the bantam and juvenile teams often went undefeated in a season, and were unscored upon in a few. The grade 8 and grade 9 rugby were perennial Vancouver and District champions. In 1969 the school fielded a grade 10 boys' team for the first time. The school has produced numerous Canada U-19 and U-21 players and, at last count, three full international senior players; Tony Scott (1973), Ron Johnstone (2001–present), and Kelly McCallum (2003).

In 1997 they became only the third junior high school in the 33 year history of the B.C. High School Wrestling Championships to finish fourth.

In 2007 Balmoral beat Seycove in Boys soccer for their league junior championship. They were the runners' up for the Vancouver and District title.
