The University of B.C. Sports Hall of Fame is ushering in a new slate of elite alumni, including Burnaby’s Jordan Gagner and New Westminster’s Jeff Schiebler.
Gagner went from St. Thomas More’s high school program to Point Grey in 1984, becoming the first UBC Thunderbirds player to win the Hec Crighton Award as Canadian university football’s Most Outstanding Player in 1987.
A quarterback, Gagner led the T-birds to a 1986 Vanier Cup title. He still holds four UBC records for career passing, including yards passing.
Schiebler, a New Westminster native, posted stellar middle and long distance running marks, including Canadian records in the 3,000-, 5,000- and 10,000-metres events. Schiebler would go on to represent Canada at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics.
The 2016 induction class also includes UBC women’s basketball career scoring leader Erica McGuinness, and the 1971-72 men’s basketball team.
