SPORTS Tuesday, July 12, 2016 US Track & Field East Oregonian Page 3B US Gymnastics Gay gets chance to recapture Raisman earns her spot Olympic relay medal Associated Press EUGENE — Consider this a second chance for Tyson Gay. Maybe his last one, too. The 33-year-old sprinter was handed a spot on the U.S. Olympic track team as a relay runner Monday, more than two years after his doping positive cost the Americans their silver medal from the 2012 Games. Gay dominated the sprints for a time before Usain Bolt burst onto the scene in 2008. The Amer- ican is still ranked second all-time behind Bolt with a time of 9.69 seconds in the 100. But the last several years have been a struggle, illed with injuries and setbacks — none bigger than a posi- tive doping test in 2013 that cost him one year out of the sport and forced the relay team to surrender its medal. Gay inished ifth in the 100 and sixth in the 200 at the recently completed Olympic trials, but coaches stuck to the order of inish for the 100 meters, taking Gay and sixth-place inisher Christian Coleman, along with Mike Rodgers, whose spot was locked in thanks to his fourth-place inish. In Gay, the U.S. gets a two-time Olympian and 2007 world champion at both 100 and 200 meters — choosing him over high-schoolers Noah Lyles and Michael Norman, who inished 4-5 in the 200 at trials. Asked before the trials what it would mean to make the team, Gay said: “A hell of a lot. I’m considered the old one of the bunch now. It deinitely means a lot to me to still keep up with these young guys here, use some of my veteran skills to my advantage.” SAN JOSE, Calif. — As the red, white and blue confetti fell inside the SAP Center on Sunday night, Aly Raisman reached out her right hand and called for her fellow new U.S. Olympians to join in on a quick team cheer. At 22, they call Raisman “Grandma.” And this determined, ultra-focused grandmother gymnast will be leading the Americans into another Olympics with all the kids, even if she wasn’t so sure as she waited for the oficial announcement. “We were joking, I was like, ‘I really am going to live up to my grandma name because I’m going to have a heart attack before they announce the names,’” Raisman said of the excruci- LaShawn Merritt, right, and third place Tyson Gay inish during the semii- nals in the men’s 200-me- ter run at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, Friday, July 8, 2016, in Eugene Ore. By EDDIE PELLS & PAT GRAHAM Associated Press AP Photo/Charlie Riedel Also added for relays on the 127-person team, which includes 84 irst-time Olympians, were Arman Hall, Tony McQuay and Kyle Clemons (men’s 4x400), Ariana Washington (women’s 4x100) and Francena McCorory and Courtney Okolo (women’s 4x400). Some other things to know about the U.S. track and ield team: LIKE A FINE WINE: At 41, Bernard Lagat is still going strong — making his ifth Olympic team. The ageless 5,000-meter runner showed just about everyone that age is merely a number. “I don’t believe I’m old,” Lagat said. “If you believe you’re old — I’m going to run like an old man.” JUST A KID: For a few days, 18-year-old high jumper Vashti Cunningham was set to be the youngest to compete for the U.S. Olympic track team in four decades. That lasted until 16-year-old Sydney McLaughlin came along and made the team in the 400-meter hurdles and took that distinction. To think, she had a little case of stage fright to begin the trials. It hardly showed as she set the world junior record to inish third and earn her place in Rio. “This has to be the icing on the cake,” the prep star from New Jersey said. “Regardless of what happens in Rio, I made it here and I’m just so thankful for all of that.” FEEL-GOOD STORY ENDS WELL: 800-meter runner Boris Berian made the team despite an uphill climb — working at McDonald’s after dropping out of college to earn extra money to train and recently winning a lawsuit over Nike over what gear he could wear that nearly kept him off the starting line. FEEL-GOOD STORY ENDS NOT AS WELL: 110-meter hurdler and defending Olympic cham- pion Aries Merritt inished fourth — missing the team by one spot less than a year after returning from a kidney transplant. He had a positive outlook, though. “For me to be where I am is a miracle,” said Merritt, who operated at 10 percent kidney function when he captured a bronze medal at the 2015 world champion- ships last summer. competition. ating minutes before The unlappable the ive gymnasts Raisman secured got inal word.

AP Photo/Steve Luciano Gleeson, Timbers escape with scoreless draw Associated Press HARRISON, N.J. — Jake Gleeson had four saves, including a delection in stoppage time, to help the Portland Timbers hold on for a 0-0 tie with the New York Red Bulls on Sunday night and extend their unbeaten streak to seven games. It was Gleeson’s second consecutive shutout and Port- land (6-6-7) hasn’t lost since May 15. Early in injury time, New York’s Bradley Wright-Phil- lips dropped a pass at the top of the box to Felipe Martins who blasted a right footer, but Gleeson got just enough to roll the ball over the crossbar and preserve the clean sheet. The Red Bulls (7-9-3) had chances, particularly in the second half, that were either thwarted by Gleeson or simply missed. Gleeson stopped a header by Sacha Kljestan in the 43rd minute, and had a sliding save on a point-blank shot by Felipe at about the 77th minute.
