Glenlawn

Glenlawn Collegiate Institute is a high school in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

In 1977, a team of Cam Dempster, Russel Krasey, Bill Mooney, and Lorne Ryall won the Reach for the Top national championship. After a season of about 300 hours of practice and question-writing per member, the team beat Selkirk, Kelvin, and Deloraine in the provincial championships. At the national final, they defeated Dryden from Northern Ontario with a score of 535 points- which was believed at the time to be the highest tally by a winning team in the title game.

Glenlawn's coach since 1971, Wilf Entz, continued with Reach for the Top until his retirement, and the school made another Nationals appearance in 1979. Glenlawn currently plays SchoolReach.
