The 2000-01 team from Gloucester High School in Ottawa won the Reach for the Top national championship. They had previously won with the 1998 Gloucester team.
Despite losing to Lisgar (captained by a tenth grade Tamara Vardomskaya) for the city title, they defeated UTS first in the the Ontario finals, then again in the national final. The game-winning question was: "I was born in Grand Pre. Who am I?" - for 40 points before time ran out. Gloucester would reach the provincial playoffs again in 2002, losing to the rookie sensation CHAT team.
Interestingly (and newsworthy enough for their Citizen article), O'Neill was captain of both the Reach team and the football team.
