 With the departures of, among others, stars Daryl Stephenson and Kyle Sleightholm, both of whom went to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Morencie and his staff were left with many empty spots to fill. This meant a lot of work for Scott Fawcett, a member of the coaching staff, who scouted players from all across of North America. >> | Adjetey-Nelson sets personal best and achieves "B" standard By Lance Staff June 18, 2008 Lancer track and field stand out Jamie Adjetey-Nelson has achieved an Olympic B standard in the men’s decathlon at the Pan Am Multi-Events Challenge in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
 Adjetey-Nelson scored a personal best of 7,728 and finished fifth overall in the two-day competition, and was a mere 19 points out of a podium finish.
