SARA AGGISS

An original member of the Georgetown (now Halton Hills) Gymnastics Club, Sara Aggiss went on to represent Canada at the 1981 World Championships in Moscow, where Canada finished 10th in the team competition.

Aggiss represented Canada again in 1983 at the World University Games, helping Canada earn a bronze medal in the team competition.

She also competed for Canada at numerous international competitions throughout the early 1980s.

KRIS BARBER

Kris Barber represented Canada at the 1981 World Figure Skating Championships, finishing 12th in ice dance with his partner Kelly Johnson.

Barber and Johnson became the first Canadians to earn an ice dance medal at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships, claiming a silver medal in 1978 and a bronze in 1979.

The Glen Williams native won national ice dance championships at the novice (1976) and junior (1979) levels and was twice a silver medalist at the senior level (1981, 1982).

CAMERON FLINT

Cameron Flint found success at every level he played, highlighted by a World Field Lacrosse championship with Canada in 2014 and a silver medal at the World U19 Championship in 2008.

Flint was a top-six draft pick in two professional lacrosse leagues and won a Major Lacrosse League title with the Denver Outlaws. In college, he was a two-time conference all-star and an All-American in 2013.

Flint was the Ontario Lacrosse Association Jr. B Rookie of the Year with his hometown Halton Hills Bulldogs and was drafted first overall by Brampton in the Jr. A draft. In minor lacrosse, he won two Canadian and three Ontario field lacrosse championships.

ANGELA HRKAC

Angela Hrkac established herself as a dominant Canadian university player before embarking on a professional career that saw her play in France, Italy, Germany and Croatia.

Hrkac was a four-time Ontario all-star with Lakehead and Guelph, twice leading the country in rebounding. In the 1998–99 season, she came back from off-season surgery to win Ontario West Player of the Year, leading the province with 19.7 points and 14.5 rebounds.

Hrkac also represented Canada at the World University Games, helping Canada finish seventh, its best finish at that time.

TYLER RENTON

Tyler Renton enjoyed an outstanding college and high school career that carried him to the world stage. Renton represented Canada at the World Junior Championships in Spain and the World Youth Championships in France, with top-20 finishes in javelin at both.

At the University of Oklahoma, Renton was a three-time medalist at the Big 12 Championships, capped by a conference title in his senior year. In 2016, he established a school record of 76.86 metres that still stands today.

Renton was a three-time OFSAA medalist at Christ the King, winning the provincial high school junior boys javelin title in 2010. Renton also won the Legion Youth Canadian javelin championship at the U16 and U18 levels.

GEORGETOWN AETNAS (1895–96)

The Georgetown Aetnas established the foundation of sporting success in Halton Hills by winning back-to-back intermediate lacrosse championships in 1895 and 1896. These victories were the first provincial titles to be claimed by a Halton Hills team.

When Georgetown played in its first championship, the high school was closed as everyone watched Georgetown defeat Orillia in the final. The following year, when Georgetown repeated by defeating Wiarton, the team was greeted at the train station by hundreds of people and a band that led a parade to town hall for a celebration.

More than 50 years later, the team’s accomplishments were still celebrated in the local paper, recalling their “prominent part in the making of sport history of Georgetown.”
