Abstract
This publication, in partnership between the University of Victoria Libraries and the University of Victoria of Athletics, offers a rich and comprehensive survey of the history of the University of Victoria Athletics, focusing on the years of award-winning activity in the McKinnon Gym. Named for Archie McKinnon, the McKinnon years and era of athletics were characterized by several CIAU championships, particularly in the sports of basketball, rowing, field hockey, swimming, cross country, and soccer. Lead by influential coaches such as Ken and Kathy Shields, the UVic Athletics program produced celebrated champions such as Eli Pasquale, Robbie Paris, Silken Laumann, Debbie Scott and Jon Kelly, among many others.
