Despite failing to claim a Canada West team title in Edmonton this past weekend, the Dinos have high hopes for their individual athletes heading into the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships in Windsor, Ontario March 11-13.

The stars of the show were Amonn Nelson and Sam Effah, who both swept their individual events. Nelson won both the 60- and 300-metre races, coming close to the Canada West records in both events. Given her training this year, that is an impressive feat.

With the 2009/10 track season approaching, Dinos sprinter Sam Effah undertook an extraordinary training regime -- racing against Usain Bolt and the fastest athletes in the world. While he has made a name for himself the last two years in university competition winning gold in the 60 metres and silver in the 300 metres at the 2009 Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships, he is progressing from national competition to the world stage. Effah competed in the 12th IAAF World Championships in Berlin, Germany.
