In addition to the unprecedented testing of the entire University of Waterloo football team in March, the CCES also conducted 54 unannounced, out-of-season tests on CIS football players across the country in June.

Miramar, Florida stirs memories of Tom Cruise and fighter jets making high-speed passes, whizzing by control towers to the Top Gun anthem. Now the mention of Miramar will conjure a new image of speed for at least one University of Calgary Dino. U of C sprinter Sam Effah blazed through the 100 metres final at the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Under-23 championships in Miramar in an impressive 10.06 seconds, earning him not only the event's golden hardware, but also shaving 0.16 seconds off his previous personal best record of 10.22 set in Edmonton last month.
As a result, the 21-year-old marketing student now holds one of the fastest times for the 100 metre sprint this year and is among an elite group of Canadian sprinters to complete the race in under 10.1 seconds.
