TORONTO -- Derek Drouin won the high jump and Damian Warner raced to victory in the 110-metre hurdles on Tuesday night, as the future of track and field was on display at the Toronto International Track and Field Games. "I think its awesome," Warner said. "A couple of years back I remember saying Canada is on the rise again, and its showing." Warner, a 23-year-old from London, Ont., won the hurdles in 13.87 seconds, less than a month after he won the decathlon at the prestigious Hypo Meeting in Austria -- whats considered the unofficial world championships for the multi-events. "I think (Austria) was just like London," said Warner, who was fifth at the London Olympics. "After London I found more confidence in myself. I always believed in myself but after London it just reassured myself I am where I should be. I feel like Im in a good spot." Drouin, also 23, won the high jump, clearing 2.33 metres. Less than a week ago, he cleared a Canadian-record 2.36 to win the NCAA championships. "I definitely feel like track and field is on the rise, and its incredible to be a part of it," Drouin said. "Our team was really young in London, good signs for the future." The native of Corunna, Ont., who won Canadas only track and field medal at the London Olympics -- bronze in high jump -- attempted what would have been a Canadian-record 2.37 on Tuesday night in front of a crowd that clapped along with his steps. He missed on his only one attempt. "Its been a very busy week, this is my third meet in 10 days, I wanted to come here and gain some consistency," he said. Drouin, who is healthy for a full season for the first time in two years -- he missed all of 2011 when he tore ligaments in his ankle -- said he feels theres more what that Canadian record came from. "I took a few jumps at NCAAs on Friday at 2.39, and they felt incredible," said Drouin -- he missed one by just the graze of his calf. "I definitely felt there was room for improvement, maybe if the bar had been at 2.37, may have been a different story. But Ive got to leave something for the rest of my career." Jessica Zelinka, who was seventh in both the 100-metre hurdles and the heptathlon in London, won the hurdles race Tuesday night in 13.06. Zelinka is taking a break from the heptathlon this season so is focusing solely on the hurdles, and will run just that event at the world championships in Moscow in August. She couldnt help but feel a pang when fellow Canadian Brianne Theisen won the womens heptathlon at the Hypo Meeting last month. "It was hard for me to see that because I wanted to be there," said the London, Ont., native. "It was great that Canadians won, very excited about that. And the winning was $20,000, so that would have been good for my season. But its good, its OK, I really needed the break." Zelinka moved to Connecticut this year with husband Nathaniel Miller, an Olympian in water polo who took a job coaching his sport there. Shed been without a coach until Kansas State Universitys Cliff Rovelto recently agreed to write her a training program. As a result, shes had a late start to the season. "Im very strong and powerful right now, I just need to get my quickness back. I think it will come with having a program," she said. "My goal was to win here, because I hadnt won anything this year yet,and I wanted to get that feeling back of being aggressive and just going for it." In other events, Kate Van Buskirk of Brampton won the womens 1,500 in four minutes 8.34 seconds, while Zane Robertson of New Zealand won the mens 1,500 in 3:40.27. Other winners included Shai Davis of Richmond, B.C., who won the womens 100 in 11.52, and Jason Rogers of St. Kitts and Nevis, who won the mens 100 in 10.25. Justyn Warner of Markham, Ont., was second in the mens 100 in 10.32. Cheap Air Max 97 White .

SEATTLE -- Behind Thomas Rawls bouncing off and through tacklers and a big-play punch from Tyler Lockett, the Seattle Seahawks rediscovered their offensive star power on Sunday night.It came at a significant cost to their defense.Rawls ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, Lockett took a reverse 75 yards for a score to open the second half and the Seahawks routed the Carolina Panthers 40-7 on Sunday night.The victory was clouded by the loss of standout safety Earl Thomas for the rest of the regular season at least to a broken tibia in the first half. While coach Pete Carroll did not have a timeline, he expected the injury to be six weeks at the minimum.Earls been a fixture here for a long time. Hes missed two games in his life playing football in the last couple of weeks. Were going to miss him enormously, Carroll said.Another prime-time game in Seattle was provided with odd story lines right from the outset when Carolina quarterback Cam Newton was benched for the first play, only to watch backup Derek Anderson throw an interception . It was the start of miserable night for Carolina (4-8) and a laugher that moved Seattle (8-3-1) one step closer to the NFC West title.I think there was a lack of communication on my part. I think I have to be accountable to know certain things, Newton said.Rawls and the run game set the tone for Seattle, gashing the second-best run defense in the NFL for 240 yards. Carolina entered the week giving up less than 80 yards per game on the ground.Rawls finished with 106 yards on 15 carries, quiet in the second half after briefly being checked for a concussion. He was just the second 100-yard rusher for the Seahawks, who have struggled on the ground this season. Rawls 8-yard run gave Seattle an early 10-0 lead and his 45-yard sprint early in the second quarter pushed it to 17-7.I have to let it come to me and then take it after I get past those big boys, Rawls said. The guys up front did a tremendous job. They were phenomenal.Russell Wilson was 26 of 36 for 277 yards and a 1-yard scoring pass to Jimmy Graham in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks rolled up a season-high 534 yards and kept a three-game lead over Arizona in the division with four games remaining.Thomas broke the bone in a first-half collision with teammate Kam Chancellor while trying to intercept Newtons pass. Thomas hobbled off, putting no weight on the leg, and X-rays revealed the fracture.You cant really tell where people are. We were both trying to make a play, Chancellor said.dddddddddddd Its hard to see your brother go down like that.On the play after Thomas injury, Newton hit Ted Ginn Jr. on a 55-yard touchdown pass to pull the Panthers to 10-7. It would be the only highlight for Carolina.Rawls immediately answered, darting through the Carolina defense for a 45-yard touchdown run and a 17-7 lead. Steven Hauschka added two more field goals before halftime and Lockett raced 75 yards on a reverse on the first play of the second half. In less than 10 minutes of game time, Seattle extended the lead to 30-7.I think I finally got to hit that extra gear that Ive been waiting on, Lockett said.Newtons benching was for a dress code violation -- he did not have a necktie for the team flight -- and the single play he missed could not have gone worse. Anderson rolled out to throw a pass to Mike Tolbert. It bounced off Tolberts hands and into the arms of Mike Morgan, a disastrous result for that only added to questions about coach Ron Riveras intention with the punishment.Newton finished 14 of 32 for 182 yards.I treat him like I do all the other players on the team and he didnt start, Rivera said.LOPSIDED RESULTIt was seventh meeting in the past five years between the Seahawks and Panthers, playoffs included. It was the first time of the seven the game was decided by more than 14 points. Five of the previous six were decided by seven points or fewer. The biggest win during the stretch was Seattles 31-17 win in the 2014 playoffs.BATTERED PANTHERSCarolinas injury list grew again.The Panthers were already without starters Kurt Coleman and Luke Kuechly (concussions) and defensive end Mario Addison (foot) on defense, and right tackle Daryl Williams (ankle) on offense. Carolina then lost cornerback Daryl Worley and linebacker David Mayo to concussions against the Seahawks.THOMAS TWEETSOne of the most emotional players on Seattles roster, Thomas hinted at retirement in a tweet sent just before halftime.This game has been so good to me no regrets. A lot is running through my mind including retirement thanks for all the prayers, Thomas tweeted from the Seattle locker room.Thomas missed the first game of his career last week at Tampa Bay due to a hamstring injury.UP NEXTPanthers: Carolina returns home and hosts San Diego.Seahawks: Seattle travels to Green Bay.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' ' |
