1969-1970 U of S Track & Field Team Wins Canadian Championship

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
