VANCOUVER - The University of Calgary Dinos ended 10 years of University of
British Columbia domination by claiming the mens title at the Canadian
Interuniversity Sport swimming championships Saturday. Mewelde Moore Jersey . Still, the host
Thunderbirds retained the womens crown for a record-setting 11th straight
season. The Dinos finished first in the mens standings after outscoring the
T-Birds 760-586.5. Calgary, which had taken second place behind UBC 10 years
running, had captured the last three titles (1995-97) and 12 in 16 years before
the T-Birds started their amazing run of success in 1998. Laval (490.5), Toronto
(341) and Montreal (242.5) rounded out the top 5 in the mens race. On the womens
side, UBC tallied 704 points for the banner. The Thunderbirds capped off their
triumph with a Canadian record in the 4×100-metre medley relay as Rachelle
Salli, Annamay Pierse, Erin Miller and Stephanie Nicholls won the race in
4:04.95, eclipsing the previous mark of 4:04.97 set a year ago by UBC. Calgary
placed second for the eighth season in a row with 647 points. Laval (307.5),
Victoria (297) and Toronto (264.5) followed. Individually, Edmontons Pierse and
UBC teammate Callum Ng of Calgary were named female and male swimmers of the
year. Rookie-of-the-year honours went to Calgarys Breanna Hendriks and Bruno
Langlois of Laval, while UBCs Derrick Schoof and Calgarys Mike Blondal were
chosen as the top womens and mens coaches, respectively. Pierse led the way in
keeping UBCs win streak alive by sweeping the breaststroke events. The
24-year-old followed up her Canadian record-breaking performances in the 100 and
200-metre events earlier in the meet by setting a new CIS championship record in
the 50-metre with a time of 31.57. Her fourth gold medal of the meet came under
an hour later in the 200-metre individual medley, with the bronze going to
sister and teammate Hanna. Still, perhaps her greatest achievement of the day
was the mark Pierse and her teammates set in the medley relay. “Im not surprised
we swam that fast,” Pierse said. “When youve got the best teammates ever and you
stick together, anything is possible. I am so stoked. It was just awesome. “Im
definitely on track, Im definitely where I want to be and Im definitely where I
should be. Im so excited about the next couple of months. Ng made it a clean
sweep of the backstroke events with a gold-medal winning time of 1:57.35 in the
200 metres. “Being captain means not only performing well yourself, but helping
the others to perform too,” Ng said. “Im really proud of what we did as a team,
but its a numbers game. We only had 12 swimmers to (Calgarys) 18, but there is
no question theyve developed well as a team over the years and we have to tip
our hats to what theyve accomplished. “They deserve to be CIS champions.”
Calgarys Chad Hankewich capped off his gold-medal wins in the 400 and 200-metre
freestyle events with another win on Saturday, in the 100 free. Other winners on
the womens side Saturday were Calgary teammates Kevyn Peterson, in the 800m free
(8:38.02), and Katy Murdoch, in the 200m back (2:11.71), as well as UQTRs
Jennifer Carroll in the 100m free (55.55). Other male winners were Christopher
Tobin of Calgary, in the 50m breast (28.28), Lavals Nicolas Murray, in the 200m
individual medley (2:03.36), Malcom Lavoie of UBC, in the 1500m free (15:24.86),
and the Calgary 4×100m medley relay. The CIS swimming championships return to
UBC in 2009. Robert Mathis Jersey . Another Canadian,
Phylicia George, will be joining her, after she ripped off a personal-best time
of her own in the third and final heat to clinch one of the two next-best time
scores to advance to the final. Johnny Unitas Jersey .p.h fastball that J.J.
Putz closer buzzed past him for the final out of Seattles win. I cleared that
at-bat out of my head, Hamilton said Tuesday. http://www.nikeindianapoliscoltsjerseyssale.com/andrew-luck-jersey
. —Brewers manager Ron Roenicke spent much of last season matching wits with
Tony La Russa, right up to the moment when St. Reggie Wayne Womens Jersey . Romania
performed well on almost all apparatuses in the last subdivision, but did not
deliver the spectacular balance beam performances they are known for. Key beam
specialists Larisa Iordache and Catalina Ponor both had wobbles throughout their
routines and did not nail them as they were expected to. Pat Angerer Jersey . Hanson (2-2) gave up
just two runs on five hits with a walk and seven strikeouts to help the Braves
win their fifth straight game. Martin Prado and Chipper Jones each drove in a
run while Dan Ugglas solo homer in the third proved to be the winner.DALLAS—
The Dallas Mavericks won the bidding Friday to obtain two-time All-Star forward
Elton Brand off waivers, the latest in a series of moves to build their roster
after a frustrating start in free agency. Brand was available after the
Philadelphia 76ers this week used the one-time amnesty provision in the new CBA
to let him go and not have the $18.1 million he is owed in the final season of
his five-year deal count against their salary cap or luxury tax. Dallas also
completed a one-year deal with 7-foot centre Chris Kaman, who had tweeted two
days earlier that he reached an agreement with the Mavericks. A year after
winning their first NBA title, the Mavericks couldnt sway Deron Williams to come
play for his hometown team. Williams stayed with the Nets for their move to
Brooklyn and signed his new deal early Wednesday, the first day new deals could
be finalized. Plus, guards Jason Kidd and Jason Terry are leaving Dallas in free
agency. The Mavs acquired point guard Darren Collison and wing player
Dahntay Jones from Indianapolis in a trade Thursday for centre Ian Mahinmi.
Brand will still get the full $18.1 million he is owed,, with Philadelphia
paying any difference. Reggie Wayne Youth Jersey. Any team under the
salary cap was eligible to bid for the 6-foot-9 forward. The winning bid wasnt
revealed by the Mavericks. ESPN, citing anonymous sources, reported it was $2.1
million. Brand was the top overall pick out of Duke in the 1999 draft by Chicago
and has played 860 career games with the Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers and
Philadelphia. He was an All-Star in 2002 and 2006. His career averages are 18.3
points and 9.4 rebounds while shooting 50 per cent from the field. Last season,
he averaged 11.0 points and 7.2 rebounds in 60 games with the 76ers. Kaman
averaged 13.1 points and 7.7 rebounds in 47 games with the New Orleans Hornets
last season. He played the first eight seasons of his career with the Los
Angeles Clippers, and has averaged 11.9 points and 8.3 rebounds in 540 career
games. Kaman was on the German national team during the 2008 Olympics and was a
teammate of Dirk Nowitzki. Dallas this week designated 7-foot centre
Brendan Haywood as its amnesty player. Haywood is set to make $8.2 million next
season and is due $27 million over the final three guaranteed years in his deal.
