Career
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. During his tenure at the University of Saskatchewan, where he studied and graduated from the college of medicine, Enweani set school and Canada West records in the 60m (684 seconds set on March 3, 1984), 200m (2127 seconds set on February 15, 1987), and 300m (3356 seconds set on February 3, 1984).
In 1988, Enweani competed at the Summer Olympics.
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. In 1989, he was named Kinsmen Athlete of the Year.
That same year, he competed at the World University Games where he met Vanessa Monar, fellow athlete and U of South student. Four years later, in 1993, they would marry.
He graduated from the U of South in 1989 with a degree in medicine and today practices in Saskatoon a family and sports doctor.
