This blog shares the track and field experiences of Saskatchewan athletes in high school and university during the those "1960s", our "glory days," in the perhaps bitterly nostalgic phrase of Bruce Springsteen. I am opening this blog to the public and making it available to as many search engines as possible, at a minimum Google's. You are now welcome to comment on any postings in this blog on the site itself. I hope to see more comments in the future.

Where Are They Now? Don Gogel
In case you wondered if regular exercise and cross training could have a payoff, see this remarkable figure skating video on You Tube which Don Gogel performed in 2011. Don was a Saskatchewan runner who graduated from St. Paul's in Saskatoon in 1964 and went on to the University of Oregon and New York University. In later years, he ran in major marathons in New York City and Boston. This video was shot at Long Beach, California but Don learned most of his moves at the wonnderful Chelsea Piers facility, in New York City, studying under a former elite (Olympic perhaps) Russian skater.
