Historique
The Saskatoon Track and Field Club was founded in 1948 as the Hilltop Track and Field Club, under a sponsorship arrangement with the Saskatoon Hilltops football club, brokered by John Munro (“Jack”) Lydiard. An earlier version of the Saskatoon Track and Field Club had been started by Joe Griffith and George Ward in 1935, but appears to have existed only briefly, and the two don’t seem to be related.
In 1950, the relationship with the Hilltops ended and the club changed its name to the Saskatoon Track and Field Club. The name changed to the Saskatoon Track Club sometime after 1998. In 1955, the Nutana Kiwanis Club agreed to help finance the STFC. Early in 1963, the STFC helped establish the Riversdale Track and Field Club. In 1965, the Knights of Columbus, became the chief sponsor of the club.
Early coaches and athletes associated with the club include Dr. Bill Turnbull, Jack Lydiard, Bob Adams, Sylvia Ferguson and May Gagan.
