High Schooler Aria Pearce (8th grader - 14 yr old?), ran in a college meet a few days ago. Her times were 7.57 for the 60m and 24.83 in the 200m. The winner in both races was Isabella Hohl of Washburn University. She ran 7.48 and 24.74.

Michael Laudrup was a great player, with incredible vision and passing.

I wonder if Quinn, Jewell, Beck, and Webb will be competing this year.

He's Norwegian. Norwegians and Scots are killing it on the track these days. It seems his main event is the 400m Hurdles, probably inspired by Warholm. But based on this time, he should give more consideration to running the 400m flat.

Meanwhile, University of Kansas freshman Gradey Dick is looking like a future superstar. Here is his season's stat line so far - very impressive! PTS 15.8 REB 4.5 AST 1.7 FG% 50.4

Rocky Marciano didn't make the list??? Who, from Massachusetts, was better than him?

According to the bio, her 800m time was 4th best for among HS seniors in the country. So that's probably her best event. But her versatility is remarkable - the "only high school female in the country this year to run under 25 seconds in the 200, 55 in the 400 and 2:07 in the 800." She also won...

I just discovered this girl on Stanford's website. She is a new recruit, who had an amazing season last year. Cate Peters (Danville, Calif./Monte Vista HS) Personal bests: 800 – 2:06.89; 400 – 54.72; 200 – 24.64; 100 – 12.06. Bay Area native Cate Peters was the only high school female in the...

Based on the past 2 games, Purdy looks even better than Jimmy G. Of course, it's only 2 games. But regardless, it still shows that Shanahan was completely wrong in evaluating his Quarterbacks. His depth chart: 1/ Trey Lance 2/ Jimmy G 3/ Brock Purdy was upside down! Should have been: 1/ Brock...

Another 100 yd game for McCaffrey.

Niners up 35-0, and Brady playing poorly - just threw his 2nd interception. I wonder if the Niners should take CMac out for the 4th qtr. ?

He should go over 100 yds rushing today. They have a 4 touchdown lead, so will probably be running the ball a lot in the 2nd half. At the same time, his rushing avg will probably go down, as the Bucs will be expecting the run.

Deebo Samuels out with what seems to be a serious leg injury. He was carted off the field.

Watching the game . . . when McCaffrey has run off-tackle or on a sweep, he's had substantial gains. It's great that the Niners have adjusted their play calling to include these type of runs. At the same time, they have run him up the gut several times too, and the result has been basically...

Well let's see if the play calling changes in a way that will help McCaffrey run for more yardage. They obviously understand that he is best used in space, as they try to get him in out in space in the passing game. But then at the same time, they contradict this, by usually running him between...

As predicted, McCaffrey has been heavily involved in the offense today against the Dolphins.

Another rare occurrence today with the 49ers - 2 white RBs score touchdowns - although both did so as receivers.

Something we saw this week and also last week with the 49ers, an all white backfield - Garropolo/Purdy, Juczyck, and McCaffrey. Wonder when was the last time that happened?

Deebo Samuels is questionable for Sunday's game. McCaffrey will be needed even more.

Standing by this statement as Spain and Belgium lost yesterday; previously France lost to Tunisia, Poland lost to Argentina, and Denmark lost to Australia. Germany has been eliminated, and Portugal lost today. I think Argentina or Brazil will come up as the winners.

Here's a clip of Hadl at both University of Kansas and the San Diego Chargers. In addition to his running, passing, and punting talent, I learned that he held the Kansas record for longest interception return (98 yds) until 2007. So he must have played defensive back as well...

Abby has turned pro. So no more college records and titles for her - unfortunately. I would have liked her to put in another year at Kentucky and win the 100m title. It would be great to have a white 100m NCAA Champ.

John Hadl, who was QB for the high powered Chargers in the 1960s and early 70s, passed away yesterday. Besides his accomplishments as a QB (he was 3rd on the all-time passing yards list when he retired), it was interesting to find out that he played halfback at Kansas before being converted to a...
