Le rameur Bill McKerlich a fait partie de l’\u00e9quipage du huit de l’Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique (UBC) qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi pour repr\u00e9senter le Canada \u00e0 Melbourne 1956<\/a>. Seulement la moiti\u00e9 de l’\u00e9quipage avait une r\u00e9elle exp\u00e9rience de l’aviron et alors qu’il ne restait qu’une ann\u00e9e pour se pr\u00e9parer pour les Jeux, on a reb\u00e2ti une \u00e9quipe comp\u00e9titive dans le but d’aspirer \u00e0 la m\u00e9daille d’or olympique. McKerlich a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 une m\u00e9daille d’argent pour le Canada, terminant derri\u00e8re les Am\u00e9ricains avec un retard de seulement deux secondes en compagnie de ses co\u00e9quipiers David Helliwell<\/a>, Philip Kueber,  Richard McClure<\/a>, Douglas McDonald<\/a>, Carl Ogawa<\/a>, Donald Pretty<\/a>, Lawrence West<\/a> et Robert Wilson<\/a>. \u00c0 Rome 1960<\/a>, le Canada a \u00e9t\u00e9 repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par l’\u00e9quipage du huit de l\u2019UBC et n’\u00e9tait d’aucune fa\u00e7on le favori pour rafler la m\u00e9daille d’or. L’\u00e9quipage canadien est rest\u00e9 \u00e0 la hauteur de l’embarcation favorite jusqu’\u00e0 ce qu’il reste 200 m \u00e0 franchir, et les Allemands ont alors press\u00e9 le pas, si bien que McKerlich a remport\u00e9 sa deuxi\u00e8me m\u00e9daille d’argent olympique en carri\u00e8re, en compagnie de David Anderson<\/a>, Donald Arnold<\/a>, Sohen Biln<\/a>, Walter D\u2019Hondt<\/a>, Nelson Kuhn<\/a>, John Lecky<\/a>, Archie MacKinnon<\/a> et Glen Mervyn<\/a>. Cette m\u00e9daille a \u00e9t\u00e9 la seule du Canada \u00e0 ces Jeux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e9daill\u00e9 d’or dans l’\u00e9preuve \u00e0 huit aux Jeux de l’Empire et du Commonwealth britannique en 1958, McKerlich a pris sa retraite apr\u00e8s ces Jeux-l\u00e0. Apr\u00e8s avoir re\u00e7u son dipl\u00f4me en \u00e9ducation physique de l’UBC en 1960, McKerlich a fait carri\u00e8re dans l’enseignement et l’administration au sein du minist\u00e8re de l’\u00c9ducation de la Colombie-Britannique \u00e0 Vancouver, et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 l’auteur de la publication intitul\u00e9e Twelve Steps to Reform Canadian Public Education <\/em>(12 \u00e9tapes vers la r\u00e9forme de l’\u00e9ducation publique au Canada). Son fils Ian a pris la 10e place dans l’\u00e9preuve \u00e0 deux avec barreur aux Jeux de S\u00e9oul en 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McKerlich a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la Colombie-Britannique en 1976, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1958 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de l’Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique en 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
