Wesley, Frater lead indoor track team in first meet Junior transfer Demario Wesley and sophomore Michael Frater earned provisional NCAA honors in the 60-meter dash in the first indoor meet of the Oklahoma Indoor Classic Saturday. Frater ran the race a career-best 672 seconds, and Wesley notched a team-best 6.64 seconds in the dash. Only a 6.72-mark is needed to qualify for the NCAA meet. “It was not a bad first meet,” said TCU head coach Monte Stratton. “We came through it healthy, but understand that we have some work to do. Getting Demario and Michael with a provisional time in the first meet of the season is great.” The women’s team was led by the performance of Perhona Tomlin. Tomlin captured the best time in the 600-yard dash in a mark of 1: 22.96.
Colts hire Dungy a week after he was fired from Bucs INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Tony Dungy was hired to coach the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, a week after he was fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team hopes Dungy, regarded as a defensive specialist, will overhaul a Colts defense that allowed an NFL-high 486 points this season. He replaces Jim Mora, who was fired Jan. 8. Dungy, along with the Jets’ Herman Edwards, one of two black NFL coaches now, was the most successful coach in Buccaneers history, going 54-42 in six seasons and leading the team to the playoffs four times. The Bucs were 9-8 this season, including a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round. Dungy led Tampa Bay to the 1999 NFC championship game. Before joining Tampa Bay, Dungy was the Vikings’ defensive coordinator for four seasons, the Chiefs’ defensive backs coach for three, and spent eight seasons as a Steelers’ assistant.
Brawl breaks out at Tyson-Lewis news conference NEW YORK (AP) — Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis finally went at it Tuesday- at a news conference, not in a ring. Tyson charged the WBC and IBF heavyweight champion right after the start of a conference called to announce their April 6 bout, and a brawl broke out on stage at the Hudson Theater. Neither fighter hit the other, but Tyson had a cut on his hairline after the swarm of bodies was pulled apart. WBC president Jose Sulaiman was knocked down during the melee. The news conference for Lewis’ defense of his two belts against Tyson in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was called off. Lewis was supposed to meet reporters later Tuesday, but instead business agent Adrian Ogun read a statement from the champion. |
