Canadian under-18s beat U.S. at football

Canada’s under-18 male football team — including five Saskatchewanians — defeated the United States 44-26 at the International Bowl on Wednesday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The squad included three members of the Campbell Tartans — receiver Bennett Stusek, linebacker Josh White and defensive back Jaxon Ford — along with offensive lineman Nathan Raymond (from Redvers) and receiver Adam Labrash (Saskatoon).

Kali Christ of Regina is the Sask Sport Inc. athlete of the month for December.

A long-track speedskater, she finished sixth in the 1,500 metres at an International Skating Union World Cup meet in Salt Lake City, and was the top Canadian in the meet.

Christ subsequently finished 12th at a World Cup meet in Calgary.

Earlier this month, Christ was named to Canada’s Olympic longtrack speedskating team. She also competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
