Graeme Martin-Muir Hugh McRoberts
From the start of his five-year involvement with rugby at high school, Graeme was noted for his athleticism, strength and speed, the ability to adapt to playing situations with foresight and sound decision making, as well as the ability to ably fill all positions in the back-line from standoff to fullback. His participation was not limited to the school program. He was an active member of the Richmond Rugby Club, which won a Provincial U-16 title in 2006.
Outside of rugby, Graeme was actively involved within the school as a peer helper and as a senior member of the Grad Legacy Committee which promoted awareness of, and fundraising for , spinal cord research. Within the community at large, he dedicated much time to coaching youth soccer.
Graeme is a member of the BCRU Vancouver Intermediary Rugby Academy, and is enrolled in the Faculty of Arts at the University of British Columbia.
