This U of S championship team has many familiar names to
those of us who had competed in high school track in Saskatchewan back in the
sixties, including, among others, Charles Simpson, Bill White, Gerry Filson and coach Lyle Sanderson. The team, composed of men who chose to stay in Canada, and somehow
managed not to get distracted from sports by the glamorous politics of the
sixties, represents a successful culmination of sorts of our community of young
runners. In retrospect, I wish I could
have been on that team. See link in blue to a Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame article and picture: 1969-70 University of Saskatchewan Huskies Men's Track and Field Team
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.
