Bob Whyte was the quiet champion of Victoria sports in the early 1900's and although not as well known or famous as many who have been inducted into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame, he provided a yeoman half-century of dedicated service to sport in Victoria from 1906 to 1956. Bob was the long-time captain of the winning YMCA basketball teams and a member of the 1922 City and BC Senior A basketball championship club. Press reports of the time described him as one of the greatest ball handlers this city has ever produced. As a solid Vic West F.C. fullback from 1909 to 1932, he led them to nine city championship seasons and was a regular on the city rep teams. After his playing days, Bob turned to coaching, sponsoring and guiding many winning women's basketball and softball teams as well as holding numerous executive positions in local sports. He was named a life member of the Victoria YMCA, Basketball B.C. and was inducted onto the Softball B.C. Wall of Fame.

Mark Wyatt emerged from Victoria High School to become one of the most elegant yet lethally dangerous rugby players Canada has ever produced. He was only five-foot-nine and 160 pounds but overcame that to become one of the finest fullbacks and goal kickers in the world. His career with the University of Victoria Vikings, Velox of the Island Union, Crimson Tide nationally and Team Canada Internationally was nothing short of dazzling as he lifted Canada to rugby respectability in the 1980's. Mark earned his first international cap in 1982 at age 20. In his 29 brilliant Test match appearances over 10 years, he became Canada s leading international points scorer of the day. Mark played in the 1987 and 1991 World Cups of rugby, captaining Team Canada in the latter. Three times he was named to the All World XV, which is essentially the world all-star team. He played in their celebrated fixture at Australia's Bicentennial in 1988 scoring a try and dominated with his kicking. He was twice named Victoria male athlete of the year.
