Hundreds of people gathered at the University of Saskatchewan on Sunday, to remember Lyle Sanderson.
Sanderson died last month, at the age of 79. He was the coach of the University of Saskatchewan Track and Field program for 39 years and retired from that post in 2004.
Sanderson helped coach the Canadian Olympic Team at the 1972 and 76’ summer games.
Sanderson is the most decorated coach in U of S history. He led the huskies to 33 Canada West titles and 10 National Championships.
He is also a member of the Saskatchewan and Saskatoon Sport Halls of Fame.
