[1] After hearing Diane Jones-Konihowski speak after the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Cyprian Enweani began sprinting at the age of 12.
By age 17, he was on the Saskatchewan Canada Games team and became the high school record holder in the 200m and 400m distances in 1982.
Though he was ninth overall in the 200 metres—he did not make it past the semi-finals—Enweani set a new Saskatchewan 200 metres record in each heat he ran, with his final race clocking in at 20.57 seconds, a personal best.
That same year, he competed at the World University Games where he met Vanessa Monar, fellow athlete and U of S student.
He graduated from the U of S in 1989 with a degree in medicine and today practices in Saskatoon as a family and sports doctor.
