Saskatoon Track & Field Club

Friday was a golden day for Saskatchewan at the 2025 Canada Games in St. John’s, Newfoundland, as two standout athletes with the Saskatoon Track and Field Club (STFC) claimed the top step of the podium.

Olaloku Strikes Gold in Triple Jump

Olamide Olaloku soared to victory in the women’s triple jump, winning gold with a leap of 12.23m. Her performance highlighted both her technical precision and competitive edge, securing Saskatchewan’s first field event gold of the Games.

Werner Wins 400m Title

On the track, Tayen Werner delivered a brilliant race in the women’s 400m final, capturing the gold medal in a time of 54.40 seconds. Werner’s smooth stride and strong finish proved unbeatable as she crossed the line ahead of the field.

Saskatchewan Momentum Building

These two victories build on a strong week for Saskatchewan athletes. Earlier in the Games, Logan Kok earned decathlon bronze with a provincial U20 record, while Claire Norek secured a silver medal in the wheelchair shot put. With Olaloku and Werner’s triumphs, STFC athletes now boast medals of every colour in Athletics.

What’s Next

Athletics competition continues Saturday, with more medal opportunities still ahead for Saskatchewan and STFC athletes.

Athletes at the Gordie Howe Sports Complex had a memorable day meeting Savannah Sutherland, one of Canada’s elite track and field talents. Savannah took the time to encourage the next generation of athletes, sharing her presence and support with those training on the same ground where she once competed.

For those unfamiliar with her achievements, Savannah is a standout. Originally from Borden, SK, and developed through the Saskatoon Track & Field Club, she is a two-time NCAA 400m hurdles champion, the NCAA record holder, and the Canadian record holder. She placed 7th at the most recent Olympic Games, proving her place among the world’s best.

Savannah will continue her impressive season at the Edmonton Invitational on July 13, where she will test her speed against strong competition. Following that, she is set to compete at the World Athletics Championships in September, representing Canada on the biggest stage in the sport.

Keep an eye on Savannah — her drive, talent, and dedication make her one of the most exciting athletes to watch as she continues to reach new heights.

The Saskatoon Track & Field Club is proud to celebrate one of its standout athletes, Jake Neufeld, who has officially been selected to represent Canada at the 2025 FISU Summer World University Games in Rhine-Ruhr, Germany, this July.

Jake, a talented decathlete, has trained and competed with the Saskatoon Track & Field Club for several years, showing outstanding dedication, perseverance, and growth in one of track and field’s most demanding disciplines. His selection to Team Canada is a well-earned recognition of both his athletic performance and his commitment to the sport.

🌟 Competing on the World Stage

Jake will take on the decathlon, an event that tests an athlete’s all-around skill and determination across ten disciplines. Representing both the club and Canada, Jake will have the chance to measure himself against the best student-athletes in the world at one of the globe’s largest multi-sport events.

Always known for his smiling, positive demeanor — whether on the field or supporting his teammates — Jake sets an inspiring example for all members of the club.

🗓️ What’s Next

The FISU Games athletics competitions run from July 21–27, 2025. With Jake’s proven consistency, strong competitive spirit, and the support of his coaches and teammates at the Saskatoon Track & Field Club, he is poised to make an impressive showing for Canada.

💬 Jake’s Words

“I’m beyond excited and grateful for this opportunity to represent Canada,” Jake shared. “The Saskatoon Track & Field Club has supported me every step of the way, and I can’t wait to give it my all on the international stage.”

👏 Club Pride

Jake’s journey reflects the Saskatoon Track & Field Club’s mission of fostering athletic excellence and personal development. His hard work, sportsmanship, and positive leadership make him a role model for younger athletes across our club community. We are incredibly proud to see him wear the maple leaf and look forward to cheering him on in Germany.

Congratulations, Jake — your Saskatoon Track & Field Club family is behind you all the way!
