EUGENE, Ore. -- Molly Huddle ran hard through the finish line this time. Didnt matter. Nobody was going to catch her anyway.The long-distance runner who gave up the bronze medal at the world championships last year by celebrating too soon left no room for doubt at the U.S. Track and Field Trials on Saturday.She outdistanced second-place finisher Emily Infeld by nearly five seconds in the 10,000 meters, never coming close to the finish-line stumble in Beijing, when Huddle slowed and raised her hands a step before the tape. That day, the hard-charging Infeld shouldered her way past for the bronze medal.I dont think Ill ever get over it, said Huddle, who finished in 31 minutes, 41.62 seconds on a hot afternoon at Hayward Field. But Im trying to move past it and not dwell on it, not let it steal anymore from me by fixating on it.Huddle insisted she learned from the mistake, even if the lesson was a tough one. On Saturday, Huddle took the race out at a brisk pace so that not many runners would follow the lead. There were four for a while, then three and finally just Infeld and Huddle with a lap remaining. Just to be safe, Huddle cranked it up another gear to pull away from Infeld.Still, Huddle couldnt help but cast a quick glance at the scoreboard near the finish, just to make sure Infeld wasnt gaining ground.She wasnt. No celebration, though.I was just relieved, Huddle said. I didnt want any disasters to happen.There were certainly a few chances for one, like when a discus rolled across the track during the middle of the race. No one was bothered by it.Or when Kim Conley -- a prerace favorite -- was stepped on and lost a spike. She had to stop to put it back on, costing her valuable time. So much that she elected to call it a day early and save her strength for the 5,000 on Thursday.I tried to catch up, but the leaders were too far ahead, said Conley, a 2012 Olympian.For Huddle, this was business as usual.What happened last year, Im mad at myself, Huddle said. But I was glad that another American placed. I wouldve felt worse if it werent one of my teammates.Theres no animosity between Huddle and Infeld. Theyre friends, and remained so even after the episode last year.That would be a better story (if we werent friends), but thats not true, Huddle said.Whats true is this: Infeld is heading to her first Olympics. For that, the 26-year-old from Ohio thanks LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.After watching the Cavs, I better step up my game, Infeld said. Its such a special moment. Keelan Cole Jersey .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Jalen Ramsey Jersey .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed. http://www.thejaguarsfansshop.com/Jaguars-Tj-Yeldon-Draft-Jersey/ . The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. Taven Bryan Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. Brandon Linder Jersey . The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka. His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months.ARDMORE, Pa. -- Third place at the Masters. Tied for second at the U.S. Open. And thats just this year. Jason Days too young to get saddled with that dreaded Best Player Never To Win a Major label, so he might as well go ahead and win one. "As long as I keep knocking on the door," he said Sunday, "I think Ill win a major here soon." It sure looks inevitable after watching him this week at Merion Golf Club. Rounds of 70, 74, 68 and 71 can be worn liked a badge of honour at a championship in which the winning score was Justin Roses 1-over 281. Day finished two shots back, tied with Phil Mickelson. "At the start of the week everyone thought we were going to rip it up," Day said. "But I just knew that somewhere around even par was going to win it, and I just had to stick in there. So I was very patient with myself and happy with how I handled myself, and now I just got to keep giving myself shots at majors." The 25-year-old Day has played in five majors. Hes finished out of the top 10 only once. The Australian debuted with a tie for 60th at the 2010 British Open. Since then, his record is the envy of many of his colleagues: tied for 10th at the 2010 PGA Championship, tied for second behind champion Charl Schwartzel at the 2011 Masters, outright second behind Rory McIlroy at Congressional in 2011. This year, hes the only player to finish in the top 10 in both majors. Day spent Sunday hovering near the top, unable to break through because he kept cancelling himself out..dddddddddddd. Birdie at No. 4, bogey at No. 5. Birdie at No. 10, bogey at No. 11. He was one off the lead when he got to 18, but he put his approach in the bunker and missed a 5-footer for par. No shame there. No one birdied the finishing hole over the final two rounds. It was the shortest major championship course in nine years, but the scores were typical U.S. Open. "I think that every club in the bag got a workout this week," he said. "So I think that it would be sad for it not to come back (here) to a U.S. Open." His best shot came right after his worst one. He went from rough to creek at No. 11, then nearly put his next shot into the creek as well. But he holed out from the nasty rough for bogey. From there, he had near misses, when he wasnt scrambling: "Nearly made the birdie on 13. ... Nearly holed a good putt on 15. ... Had two good saves on 16 and 17." Too many near misses to win. He probably knew it when he tossed his club after the miss at 13. Or when he put both hands over his head after the miss at 15. All of which means hes still 14 victories behind Tiger Woods when it comes to majors. Day ended his remarks by referencing the worlds No. 1 player. "You got to understand that, late Sunday of a U.S. Open -- and U.S. Open courses are very hard -- you cant do anything but kind of grind (it) out," Day said. "Like Tiger said at the start of the week, you just got to keep grinding those 10 footers and just grind away. So I was happy with how I played."
