https://ift.tt/E1g47wX

The Mid-Hudson will be well-represented at next week's NCAA Division I track and field regional meets, qualifiers for the national championships.

Eight graduates from Section 9 schools and 14 Army athletes have qualified for the East and West regional meets, in Jacksonville, Fla., and College Station, Texas, respectively. Regional competition takes place from May 28-31.

The lone entry at the West meet - and perhaps best opportunity for a local competitor to advance - is Cornwall graduate Karrie Baloga. The sophomore is seeded third in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

At the East meet, keep an eye on Warwick graduate Lily Beattie and Roosevelt grad Sarah Trainor. Beattie, a freshman at Mississippi, is seeded tenth in the pole vault (she is ranked No. 4 among all national freshmen). Trainor, a junior at Connecticut, is seeded No. 13 in the 3,000 steeplechase.

Additional Section 9 graduates slated to compete are Amelia Benjamin of Ellenville (high jump); Valley Central grad Bianca Staples (triple jump); Goshen grad Emma Wapshare (javelin); Our Lady of Lourdes grad Jaheim Jones (100- and 200-meter dash); Monroe-Woodbury grad Collin Gilstrap (1,500 meters); New Paltz grad Aidan Ifkovits (hammer); and, Newburgh grad James Onwuka (relays).

Among the Army entries, senior Emily Fink is the top seed in the hammer throw and No. 14 in the shot put.

Eagles coach calls out star player for being out of shape: ‘Both he and I have talked about that’

https://ift.tt/5x1sACw PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is still not in his best form yet. After getting ejected before the first snap in Week 1 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott , Carter made his season debut in Philadelphia’s Week 2 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. As one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, Carter is expected to take over games, but that didn’t happen against the Chiefs. “He had some good rushes, but he needs to round into better shape,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday. “Both he and I have talked about that. He readily admits that. I think we’ll even get more (out of him). For everything that has gone on in his world, I thought he played pretty good.” Carter amassed two tackles and three quarterback hits, while playing 80% of the snaps. He has the talent to be more productive. Last year, Carter became an unstoppable force after ...

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane ready to take on English rivals in Champions League

https://ift.tt/SwpIz0O Bayern Munich star Harry Kane cannot wait to hit the grass at the Allianz Arena to face off with Chelsea FC in the Champions League. “We back ourselves to beat any team at the Allianz Arena. It’s up to you [journalists] and fans to decide who are the favourites. We’re feeling very good right now. If we want to beat Chelsea, we have to perform at our peak. It will be a tough and great game. Chelsea did very well at the Club World Cup and right now in the Premier League,“ said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). When asked about the statement made by Uli Hoeneß, Kane respectfully disagreed. “A club like Bayern always expects to win every competition. I wouldn’t say we’re underdogs, even though we’re playing against the best teams in Europe. Now begins a long journey, hopefully until May. I don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to be as high as possible in the league phase table. It all starts tomorrow,” Kane said. Harkening back to last season’s Champions...
