ALEXANDRIA, VA – The Chinquapin Wahoos won 15 events at the Colonial Swim League Blue Division meet on July 23. After topping the division as a team with an undefeated season, 60 members of Alexandria’s only public swim team had the chance to demonstrate individual excellence across 50 races.

Each of the division’s six teams invited up to three boys and girls in each age group to race in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and the 100-meter individual medley (IM), with ribbons awarded for first through sixth place.

Swimmers were limited to competing in three disciplines and Wahoos Emil LaSida, Madison Schang and Karon Moten, completed a triple, taking home first place in all of their events.

LaSida continued his dominance of the boys 15-18 50-meter backstroke. His winning time of 27.02 seconds is the fastest in the CSL this season. He also won the 50-meter freestyle in 25.03 seconds and the 50-meter butterfly in 27.15 seconds.

Schang turned in a stellar swim to win the girls 11-12 50-meter breaststroke in 39.51 seconds, more than five seconds faster than the second place finisher. She also won the 50-meter butterfly in 34.38 seconds and the IM in 1 minute 18.84 seconds.

Karon Moten competes to win the boys 9-10 50-meter backstroke race.

Moten will be the one to beat at the All Star meet in the boys 9-10 age group. He holds multiple league topping times, including in the IM (1:27.85). He lowered his 50-meter backstroke time to win in 37.06 seconds, and his winning 25-meter butterfly time to 16.01 seconds.

Additional Wahoos division winners included Tyler Turner in the 9-10 boys 50-meter freestyle (34.83), Jonathan Ramsdell in the boys 13-14 50-meter breaststroke (34.75), Bennett Sherry in the boys 8 and under 25-meter butterfly (23.39), Micaela Zuniga in the girls 9-10 25-meter butterfly (18.19) and Ronan Lauinger in the boys 15-18 IM (1:03.18).

Jolan Foronda led the Wahoos 1-2-3 sweep in the boys 15-18 50-meter breaststroke, winning in 32.02 seconds followed by Lauinger (32.59) and Mikal Helms (33.39).

In addition to lifting the division trophy, the Wahoos also captured 12 second place and 16 third place finishes on Saturday.

Among the youngest swimmers, Sherry added to his butterfly win with second place finishes in the 25-meter backstroke (23.22) and 100-meter IM (1:59.82).

Max Kessler-Gowell also represented the 8 and under boys with third place swims in the 25-meter freestyle (20.57) and the 25-meter backstroke (24.28) and a fifth place finish in the IM (2:20.89).

The 8 and under girls snagged three third places. Beatrice Mills was third in the 25-meter backstroke (26.20) with Ryan Shaw in sixth (28.48). Avery Murray’s time of 27.06 seconds in the 25-meter butterfly was just .06 off of second place.

Sophie Wharton came third in the 25-meter breaststroke, before Charlotte Reyna and Wharton took fifth and sixth in the IM (2:32.19 and 2:37.60).

In the 9-10 age group, Turner added to his freestyle win with second place in the 50-meter breaststroke (49.44) and third in the 25-meter butterfly (18.80).

Ethan Sherry grabbed two fourth place finishes in 50-meter freestyle (37.56) and 50-meter backstroke (43.68) while Sawyer Blaise touched fifth in freestyle (41.40) and sixth in the IM (1:47.16).

For the girls, Zuniga added to her butterfly win with a fifth place ribbon in the 50-meter freestyle (41.16).

Freya Montes de Oca was just out touched to come third in the 50-meter breaststroke in 51.03 seconds before taking fifth in the IM (2:00.25).

The boys 11-12 squad continued to be led by Alex Guevara who picked up three second place ribbons, including the IM (1:23.10). He swam the 50-meter backstroke in 36.52 seconds, with Dominic Grajkowski sixth (46.57), and swam the 50-meter breaststroke in 43.72 seconds with Christopher Billips in fifth (47.59).

Chris Paz made his mark for the 11-12 boys with a third place finish in the 50-meter butterfly (39.31), a fifth place finish in the IM (1:40.32) and a sixth place finish in the 50-meter freestyle (34.10).

For the 11-12 girls, Ellie Medina placed second in the 50-meter butterfly (36.28). She also featured in a thrilling 50-meter freestyle race with four swimmers turning in 35 second times. Medina hit the wall in 35.83 seconds to grab sixth place.

The Wahoos went 2-4-6 in the 50-meter backstroke, Eleanor Robb taking second in 42.61 seconds, followed by Julia Davis (43.69) and Grace Wittmer (45.39).

Ramsdell’s win in the 13-14 breaststroke was accompanied by a third place finish in the 50-meter freestyle (28.15) and third in the IM (1:07.80).

In the 50-meter backstroke, Alex Wittmer placed second (35.81), just 0.23 seconds off of the win. Teammate Willem Schultz placed sixth (41.97). Wittmer also came sixth in the 50-meter butterfly (34.94) and the IM (1:22.82).

For the 13-14 girls, Evangeline Billips turned in a strong 50-meter backstroke to place second in 36.66 seconds. Bella McLemore took sixth with a time of 39.88 seconds.

Billips was also sixth in the 50-meter breaststroke with a time of 45.24 seconds.

The senior Wahoos continued to excel despite the 100 degree heat on the pool deck. Bodie Lauinger was third in the 50-meter freestyle (26.58), only 0.17 seconds separating him from Helms in fifth (26.75). Lauinger also finished fifth in the IM with a time of 1 minute 08.68 seconds.

The Lauinger brothers both factored in the 15-18 backstroke race with Ronan’s 30.24 second time snagging third over Bodie’s 31.78 second fourth place swim.

Foronda added to his breaststroke win with a fifth place finish in the 50-meter butterfly (28.03) – just out touching teammate Blake Conjura who came sixth (28.68) – and a third place finish in the IM (1:05.34).

Elisabeth Carroll stood out for the 15-18 girls, finishing second in the 50-meter backstroke (34.38), third in the 50-meter breaststroke (40.63), and fifth in the freestyle (30.88).

Catherine Salomons touched third in backstroke in 35.83 seconds. She also took fourth in the 50-meter butterfly (34.37) and the IM (1:20.89).

The CSL comprises four divisions, and the fastest swimmers from across all teams based on times from the divisional meets are invited to compete for the league title at the All Star meet. The Wahoos saw 27 swimmers qualify for the July 30 showdown in Ashburn.

Top 3 in selected events

Top 3 in selected events

The World Athletics Championships starts tomorrow in Eugene, Oregon, with competition expected to be fierce in several events. Based on performances leading up to the meet, the following are the likely top three in selected events.

WOMEN

100m

Following a medal sweep last year at the Olympic Games , another sweep looks on the cards again as Jamaica’s top three women, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson and Elaine Thompson Herah, head the World Athletics performance list for 2022.

While a sweep looks likely, the order of finish is more difficult to predict. While Jackson and Thompson Herah will be looking for their first wins in the event at these championships, Fraser-Pryce is the defending and four-time champion. With her bullet start, she should not be caught, and a sub-10.6 winning time looks likely.

Top 3

1. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 2. Shericka Jackson 3. Elaine Thompson Herah

200m

All three Jamaican women will also be involved in the 200m and they will be hoping for another sweep. Thompson Herah, with 21.53 seconds at last year’s Tokyo Olympics, and Jackson, 21.55 at the recent National Championships, are the two fastest women alive in the event. Both Thompson Herah and Fraser-Pryce are yet to go under 22 seconds this season.

Jackson is the favourite to win here, but could be pressed all the way by American Abby Steiner, the world’s number two, in the event. A month ago, she had double success on the same track after winning at the NCAA Division 1 Championships and the American National Championships, where she clocked a personal-best 21.77.

Top 3

1. Shericka Jackson (Jam) 2. Abby Steiner (USA) 3. Elaine Thompson Herah (Jam)

400m

A toss-up here between the Olympic champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo of The Bahamas and silver medallist Marileidy Paulino of the Dominican Republic. Both have gone sub-50 seconds this season. Miller-Uibo, however, has not impressed and Paulino, with a world-leading 49.49 seconds, looks set to go all the way. It will be very close for the bronze medal. American Talitha Diggs, who has also gone sub-50 seconds, along with Jamaica trio of Charokee Young, another sub-50 seconds athlete, along with teammates Candice McLeod and Stephenie McPherson, will be in a real battle.

Top 3

1. Marileidy Paulino (Dom Rep) 2. Shaunae Miller-Uibo (Bah) 3. Talitha Diggs (USA)

800m

An easy win is expected here for American Athing Mu.

Top 3

1. Athing Mu (USA) 2. Keely Hodgkinson (GBR) 3. Ajee Wilson (USA)

100m hurdles

One of the most difficult events of the championships to call. It may require the photo-finish camera to decide all three medallist in what is expected to be a very competitive event. The world record of 12.20 seconds is in danger. Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico is given the slight edge for gold.

Top 3

1. Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (PR) 2. Kendra Harrison (USA) 3. Britany Anderson (Jam)

400m hurdles

A world record is on the cards here. American Sydney McLaughlin looks set for something super special and could go as low as 51.2 seconds in the event. Femke Bol of the Netherlands is in fine form and has gone sub-53 seconds this season and should be second. Defending champion Dalilah Muhammad of the United States is yet to compete this season, and this could open the way for Jamaica’s Janieve Russell to get a bronze medal.

Top AEW Star Added To Ric Flair’s Last Match Event, Updated Card – Wrestling Inc.

Top AEW Star Added To Ric Flair’s Last Match Event, Updated Card - Wrestling Inc.

AEW star Rey Fenix has been added to the card for the upcoming “Ric Flair’s Last Match” pay-per-view event.

Starrcast Events announced Monday that Fenix will wrestle AAA stars Laredo Kid, Taurus and Bandido in a 4-Way bout at the 7/31 event in Nashville, TN.

Fenix hasn’t wrestled for AEW since his loss to Andrade El Idolo on the 6/24 “AEW Rampage” episode. Prior to that, he was seen in the Casino Battle Royale the night after the Double or Nothing pay-per-view event.

Besides AAA, other promotions such as IMPACT Wrestling, MLW and NJPW are also involved in the crossover event presented by Jim Crockett Promotions. Last week, MLW announced Killer Kross vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr. to the card. Also last week, NJPW announced a match pitting two of their brightest young stars, Clark Connors and Ren Narita, for the Flair swansong event. NJPW will also be involved in Music City Mayhem the day before as part of Starccast V.

Speaking of Flair, WWE brought back the “Woo!” to its signature intro ahead of the 7/4 “WWE Raw” episode, indicating that The Nature Boy and WWE are once again on good terms. Flair would react to the change, thanking WWE for giving him back “my dignity & my life” via social media.

There is still no update on the mystery opponent who will wrestle Flair in his last match.

Jim Crockett Promotions Presents “Ric Flair’s Last Match” will air live on FITE TV as a pay-per-view event. Below is the confirmed card to this point:

* Ric Flair’s farewell match vs. unnamed opponent

* Impact World Champion Josh Alexander vs. Jacob Fatu

* Impact Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace vs. Deonna Purrazzo vs. Rachael Ellering

* The Wolves (Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards) vs. Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin)

* Killer Kross (w/Scarlett Bordeaux) vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr.

* Clark Connors vs. Ren Narita

* Rey Fenix vs. Laredo Kid vs. Taurus vs. Bandido
