University of Saskatchewan Men's Swimming and Water Polo Team

University of Saskatchewan Men's Swimming and Water Polo Team

Indoor posed image of team members with one member holding the ball; S.A.C. marked on the ball.

Bio/Historical Note: The University of Saskatchewan’s first pool opened in 1916. Located in the basement of Qu'Appelle Hall, it was 18 feet wide, 45 feet long and around 8 feet deep with a spring board and changing rooms. Speed swimming, diving, water polo and recreational swimming soon became popular activities in the long Saskatchewan winters. The pool closed soon after the Physical Education pool opened in October 1964.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Doris I. Miller earned a Bachelor of Physical and Health Education from the University of Toronto (1961), an MA from University of Oregon (1964) and was the first PhD graduate (1970) from Penn State University’s new biomechanics program. She later earned a Master’s in Divinity from University of Victoria (1990). Dr. Miller's sport biomechanics research spanned four decades investigating a variety of sports, but her true passion focused on diving biomechanics. Dr. Miller is considered a world leader in diving research and was a pioneer in bridging the gap between scientific research and coaching. In her PhD thesis, Dr. Miller developed a 3D multisegmented dynamic model to investigate flight characteristics of diving performance which required a computer mainframe program that used over 3,000 punch cards to create (Wikipedia link to what punch cardcomputing is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card). Dr. Miller was a diving coach at the University of Saskatchewan before becoming a faculty member at University of Washington and later University of Western Ontario (now Western University). From 1983-2009 Dr. Miller was a Performance Enhancement Team member for USA Diving and a biomechanist for the Olympic Medal Program. She collected data live at the Fifth World Aquatics Championships in Madrid (1986) and at the Olympic Games in Atlanta (1996) among a host of other international diving competitions. In Madrid and Atlanta, the 10-m diving tower was instrumented with a force plate to capture data live on all competitive dives. During that time, she also worked with Canada’s high-performance divers. As a result, Dr. Miller created an extensive database of all the international divers that she used to create coaching software that permitted the comparison of any diver’s biomechanical data to those of Internationally ranked competitors. This broke the barrier between sport biomechanics research and coaching. Dr. Miller was a founding member of the International Society of Biomechanics, the American Biomechanics Society and the Canadian Society of Biomechanics. She was the sixth president of the American Society of Biomechanics (1984). Dr. Miller was recognized in 2009 by the American Society of Biomechanics with the Jim Hay Memorial Award for Research in Sports Biomechanics. She is a Canadian Society of Biomechanics Career Award recipient and is a Fellow of both the Canadian Society of Biomechanics and the International Sports Biomechanics Society.She is an Honourary Member of the International Society of Biomechanics (2024)..

Huskie men's curling team members, back row (l to r): Mike Bracegirdle (coach). Front row: Rick Folk, Jim Spinney, Bob Thompson, Gerry Call.

Bio/Historical Note: A U of S mixed curling team was formed in 1974, with Rick Folk (skip), Tom Wilson, Cheryl Stirton (d. Dec. 2020) and Bonnie Orchard. It was the first time any of the members had curled on a mixed team. The team represented Saskatchewan in the Canadian Mixed Curling Championships five times. Folk skipped the Saskatchewan team to the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship in 1974. Folk attended his first Brier in 1978 as skip. In 1980 he won his first Brier and went on to win the World Curling Championship with Ron Mills, Tom Wilson and Jim Wilson. going undefeated. In 1983, Folk won another Canadian Mixed Championship, this time with Tom Wilson (d. 2008), Elizabeth Folk and Dorenda Schoenhals. After serving in government, Folk moved to Kelowna, British Columbia. He represented British Columbia at the Brier for the first time in 1989, and won his second Brier in 1994. He lost just one game at the Worlds that year. In 1995, Folk played in his last Brier. Folk and his rink from the 1994 World Championships were inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. Folk has also been honoured by the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame as well as the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame.
