Melanie Jans, Marnie Baizley, Carolyn Russel, Kelsy Souchereau, Graham Ryding, Kelly Patrick, Jamie Crombie along with their coaches Gene Turk and Stuart Dixon took home all the gold medals in squash that were up for grabs at the 1999 Pan American Games. Power not required. They were correct. Gold rush up north. The gold rush began during the individual finals on Wednesday evening with Canada's No. 1, Jans, beating USA's Demer Holleran in three to capture an individual gold.
Canadian men coast home with third gold.
In the team event, the Canadian men, with only three of their four players, beat Brazil 3-0 in the finals. Women gather fourth gold. Canada's ladies defeated Team USA 2-1. Canada's third string Russel, who had lost to Berkeley Belknap on Thursday, figured out the American's game the second time around, now hunting the hunter. Canada's effective program.
