Sarnia St. Clair graduate Shaun Bisson is a freshman on the Cross Country/ Track and Field Team at Charleston Southern University in South Carolina. The teams are currently preparing for the Big South Conference Championships at High Point University to be held October 31/09. On a team that has not faired the greatest in recent years, Bisson is playing a large role in building a competitive men's squad that will certainly improve on performances from years past and the Buccaneers will look to finish among the top 5/6 teams in the conference.
 
Coach Ryan Thompson has this to say about Shaun. "Shaun's mere presence, amongst the team, has already elevated the distance program to a higher level of competition. He has come into the program, established himself as the number 2 man and continues to put pressure on our number 1 runner-Andrew King, as he gets stronger and adapts to the intensity of training and racing in a new environment. Shaun and I both have high expectations for his performances, and while some would fold under the pressure, Shaun remains focused. Besides the athletic success, Shaun has become an outspoken leader with the guys"

The demands of training and academics have been a big adjustment and Bisson is quick to thank the CSU training staff, especially Erin Weaver for helping and healing nagging injuries that occur over the course of the season. Following Cross Country season which will conclude at the NCAA Regionals in Louisville, Kentucky, Shaun will be home to run Canadian National XC Championships in November and then prepare for the CSU Indoor Track season which begins in early January.
