contrast.Jaeger used a powerful finishing kick to pull away fro

OMAHA, Neb. -- Connor Jaeger had to swim nearly a mile to earn another race at the Olympics.Abbey Weitzeil claimed her second individual event in Rio with a frantic dash from one end of the pool to the other.The final night of the U.S. Olympic swimming trials came down to the long and short of it, a pair of races that couldnt provide more of a contrast.Jaeger used a powerful finishing kick to pull away from Jordan Wilimovsky in the 1,500-meter freestyle Sunday night, while Weitzeil claimed victory in the 50 free just ahead of Simone Manuel.The metric mile was a two-man race all the way. By the end, no one was within a half-lap of the leaders.Jaeger got a strong kick off the next-to-last wall and began to get some separation on his only challenger. Pulling away on the final lap, he finished in 14 minutes, 47.61 seconds.Hes the fastest American ever, so its fun to just try and hang with him as far as I can, said Wilimovsky, who touched in 14:49.19 -- more than 17 seconds ahead of third-place finisher Michael McBroom.Jaeger and Wilimovsky had already locked up their berths in Rio before they dove in the pool. Jaeger also won the 400 free, while Wilimovsky had earned a spot for the U.S. in the open-water event at Rio.Now, hell become the first U.S. swimmer to compete in both the pool and the ocean at the same Olympics.Its really, really cool, Wilimovsky said. Obviously open water has only been around (at the Olympics) since 2008, so its not that old.Jaeger won a silver medal in the 1,500 at last years world championships. Four years ago, he finished sixth in the event at the London Olympics.Were going to have to be better in Rio, said Jaeger, who was more than 6 seconds off his personal-best time. The 50 free was a carbon copy of the 100 free.Weitzeil won in 24.28 seconds and Manuel was next at 24.33 -- the same 1-2 finish they had in the two-lap race. Madison Kennedy missed out on a trip to Rio by 15-hundredths of a second.Im super stoked, Weitzeil said. I came to this meet in 2012 as a 16-year-old just making the cuts, just came to participate. To go from then to now in four years, winning events that I was thinking about during that time, its just amazing. It hasnt set in what Ive actually done.Four other swimmers who already earned spots on the Olympic team were farther back.Olivia Smoliga finished fourth, while Dana Vollmer, Lia Neal and Amanda Weir brought up the back of the pack.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. How do you stop the unstoppable?Thats a question well be asking at the water cooler on Monday, when we talk about Tennessees ability to hold the line against Texas A&Ms dynamic defensive end duo of Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall.Also, Alabamas tide again seems to be rolling toward another national title, but might Nick Sabans team actually have some weaknesses?We might even start an earnest debate about who the ACCs best quarterback is, and it wont be who immediately comes to mind.ddddddddddddFinally, with Washington visiting reeling archrival Oregon, what is the story behind center for the Ducks?As usual, there will be a lot to talk about, as just 12 unbeaten Power 5 teams remain -- and at least one is certain to go down in College Station, Texas.
