On Wednesday, Burnaby-based Simon Fraser University said it would move to rejoin the U Sports conference after years in the U.S.-based National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The move signals an end to the softball, golf and outdoor track and field teams at the university, as U Sports does not feature Canadian championships in those sports. Olivia Windbiel, a senior who competes in triple jump and high jump, says the move is disheartening and losing sports means a loss of community.
