Peter Ogilvie a St. Thomas More Collegiate grad, represented Canada in the track and field sprints at the 1991 and 1996 Olympic Games. He amassed eight individual medals in international competition, including gold at the 1994 Francophone Games in Paris, silver at the 1991 Pan Am Games and bronze at the 1993 world indoor championships.

Ogilvie was recognized with a distinguished top-40 ranking in the 200-metres four times in the 1990s and was ranked No. 1 in the world as a junior-aged athlete. He still holds 25 provincial and national records in junior and high school competition. Ogilvie is a two-time winner of Sport B.C.’s high school athlete of the year in 1989 and ’90.

“I’m shocked and I’m honoured. I hadn’t thought about it,” said Ogilvie from his office as technical manager at B.C. Athletics. “I went through the school system in Burnaby and having this kind of recognition made me go through the scrap book again. “All-in-all, it’s an honour. Now I can go back in my career and say, ‘this is where I’ve been.’ It’s the sport I love.”
