All four volleyball teams from Claremont Secondary took home the gold at their respective tournaments this past weekend.
The junior and senior boys’ teams played in an invitational tournament at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo while the junior and senior girls’ teams took part in an invitational tournament at Camosun College.
Senior girls coach Scott Freeburn noted how rare it is for all four teams from one school to win at different tournaments.
Freeburn and the other teachers at Claremont Secondary “can’t recall any school having swept a weekend like this.”
