    The reference to their performance in the K of C Games is based on early results mentioned in the archives from The StarPhoenix.  The international results are from major competitions — world championships, Olympics, Pan-Am Games, Commonwealth Games, University Games — and are based on results at their first major international meet. They may have gone on to other big time events and posted even better results. The Knights of Columbus Games helped them to launch their international career in sport, and in the case of Jaimie Cruickshank and Lesa Mayes, not just in track and field.

    Adam’s Aplomb…

    "I remember going over 500 days without missing a day of running – then I remember being injured. It was fun to have that drive, and lucky to have the ability, to push for those achievements. My younger daughter, Isabel, has the exact same drive. I watched her become the first Nova Scotian woman to break 2:00 in the 200m freestyle, breaking records dating back to late ‘70s/early ‘80s. Those times in people’s lives generally don’t last long, just a year, maybe two or three. Most of us aren’t so lucky to have long careers like Tom Brady or Simone Biles. But they build the foundation for the rest of one’s life."
