Bio/Historical Note: Chesley Speer (Ches) Anderson was born 8 August 1928 in Danville, Virginia, and moved to Maryville, Tennessee, at an early age. He later studied art and physical education at Maryville College. After serving in the United States Marine Corps and completing more studies and work in physical education, he came to Saskatoon in 1958 to teach at the College of Physical Education at the University of Saskatchewan. Anderson balanced his teaching and painting careers with extensive involvement in the Saskatchewan sports scene. As Huskies wrestling coach for 13 seasons, Anderson made history with a series of Saskatchewan firsts: he took the first Saskatchewan team to the Canadian University wrestling championships, coached Saskatchewan's team at the first Canada Winter Games in Quebec City in 1967, was the first chairman of the Saskatchewan Amateur Wrestling Association, and organized the first high school wrestling tournaments in Saskatoon. Anderson was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 1993. His watercolour paintings depicting rural and urban Saskatchewan scenes reflected his fascination with the beauty and history of the prairies. In 1992-1993 Anderson traveled around the province looking for unique wood and stone round barns, which inspired his series “The Round Barns of Saskatchewan.” He retired from teaching in 1990. Ches Anderson died 7 August 2018 in Saskatoon.

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.

In 1967 she represented Canada internationally for the first time as a high jumper and javelin thrower. Jones won her first international medal, a high jump bronze, at the 1969 Pacific Conference Games. She represented Canada in the pentathlon at the Munich Olympics in 1972. Jones was a gold medalist in the pentathlon at the 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico City; that same year she was named Canada’s Female Athlete of the Year. Jones graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1976 with a BEd.

Jones married fellow athlete John Konihowski in 1977; the wedding ceremony was carried live on CFQC-TV. In 1979 she won her second Pan American Games gold medal. Forced to miss the Moscow Olympics of 1980 due to the boycott that Jones-Konihowski strenuously opposed, she seriously considered going to the Soviet Union to compete as an athlete without a flag or nation. Jones-Konihowski eventually decided it was safer to not attend and athletically made her statement two weeks later at a pentathlon in Germany, winning gold, and beating all the Moscow 1980 Olympic medalists. During her career Jones-Konihowski ranked first in the world twice. Jones-Konihowski was awarded the Order of Canada in 1979 and inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 1980. She was the recipient of the YWCA Woman of Distinction Sport & Recreation Award in 1988. In 1996 she was inducted into the Canadian Olympic Sports Hall of Fame.

In 2000 Jones-Konihowski led Canada’s Olympic Team to the Sydney Olympics as the Chef de Mission. She was presented with an honourary Doctor of Laws degree from the U of S in 2002. In 2005 Jones-Konihowski was elected to the board of directors of the Canadian Olympic Committee. Jones-Konihowski is a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame (2020) and the Canada West Conference Hall of Fame (2021).
