Biographical history

John Munro (“Jack”) Lydiard attended the University of Saskatchewan between 1926 and 1930, earning a B.Sc. in 1930. During his college years, Jack was an avid photographer and was dedicated to student athletics. As a math teacher at Bedford Road Collegiate in Saskatoon, he also took on coaching duties for the (then) Bedford Road Redmen football team (now the Bedford Road Redhawks). In 1948, he became the founding president of the Saskatoon High Schools Athletics Association, and in 1949 he brokered an arrangement with the Saskatoon Hilltops Football Club to create the Saskatoon Track and Field Club. He later moved to Vancouver where he wrote the Grade 13 math textbook that was used throughout British Columbia, beginning in 1965. In retirement, he travelled throughout South America, Africa, and Asia. Jack Lydiard died on May 2, 1981.
