Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Cyprian Chinedu Enweani was born in 1964 in Copenhagen, Denmark. His family moved to Saskatoon in 1976 at age 12. After hearing Diane Jones-Konihowski speak after the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, he started track at Caswell School under Dennis Beerling. He joined the Saskatoon Track Club in 1977. By age 17 he was on the Saskatchewan Canada Games team and in 1982 became the high school record holder in the 200m and 400m races. In 1983 he participated at the Pan-American Games as a member of the 4x100 metre relay team, which came in fourth. During his time at the University of Saskatchewan, where he studied and graduated from the College of Medicine, Dr. Enweani set school and Canada West records in the 60m (6.84 seconds set on 3 Mar. 1984), 200m (21.27 seconds set on 15 Feb. 1987), and 300m (33.56 seconds set on 3 Feb. 1984). In 1988 Dr. Enweani competed at the Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Though he was ninth overall in the 200 metres - he did not make it past the semi-finals - he set a new Saskatchewan 200m record in each heat he ran, with his final race clocking in at 20.57 seconds, a personal best. Dr. Enweani was also a member of the 4x100m relay team at the 1988 Olympics that came in 7th. In 1989 he was named Saskatoon Kinsmen Athlete of the Year. That same year he competed at the World University Games where he met Vanessa Monar, fellow athlete and U of S student. Four years later, in 1993, they would marry. Dr. Enweani coached his wife for the rest of her career as a long jumper. Dr. Enweani graduated in 1989 with a degree in medicine and today practices in Saskatoon as a family and sports doctor (2023).

Bio/Historical Note: Vanessa Monar was born in 1969 in Saskatoon. She showed an early interest in athletics and ballet. While a student at Holy Cross High School, Monar captured nine medals at provincial championships. Her best showing was in her senior year (1987), when she won gold in the 100m sprint, long jump, triple jump, and high jump, setting provincial records in the latter two events. She joined the University of Saskatchewan’s track & field team the following year. During her years as a Huskie, Monar was named a Canada West Conference All-Star three times. Over four Conference championships, she won a total of seven medals. Four of those were in long jump, including gold in both 1990 and 1993. Monar won the Ethel Catherwood Award as the most outstanding female athlete in 1993. She won two silver medals (1990), and a gold in the long jump (1992) at the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union’s National Championships. While still a student, Enweani qualified to compete in the Universiade (World University Games) in 1989 and 1993. In 1993 she won silver in the long jump. While she did not qualify for the finals in 1989, she did meet her future husband (and fellow Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame inductee) Cyprian Enweani at that competition. Monar stayed with athletics after her time at the U of S ended. From 1988 to 2000, she competed in the long jump at ten Canadian Outdoor Senior Championships. At those ten championships, she won two bronze medals, four silvers, and four golds. In 1999 Monar recorded the six best performances by any Canadian woman in long jump. That same year she was a finalist for the Sask Sport female athlete of the year. Monar had the opportunity to compete internationally as well, at events such as the 1998 Commonwealth Games, and the 1999 Pan-American Games. Her best finish at an international event came in the 1997 Francophone Games, winning the gold medal. Monar Enweani earned her LLB from the University of Saskatchewan in 1993. She started her legal career with the firm MacPherson Leslie and Tyerman law firm in Saskatoon, where she became partner in 2009. Monar Enweani was inducted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame in 2004, followed by the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. Monar Enweani was inducted into the College of Law’s list of 100 distinguished graduates during its 2012 centennial celebrations. Vanessa Monar Enweani was appointed as judge to the Provincial Court in Saskatoon in 2015.
