Samardzija pitches Cubs past Cardinals 4-2

Sports

June 19th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ryan Sweeney and Cody Ransom hit back-to-back homers in a four-run first inning and that was plenty for Jeff Samardzija, who pitched the Chicago Cubs over the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 Tuesday night. Chicago started fast against Adam Wainwright (10-4) and broke a five-game losing streak in St. Louis. Carlos Beltran hit his team-high 17th homer for the Cardinals, who lost for the third time in five games but still lead the majors with a 45-26 record.

Uhl celebrates homecoming at US championships

Sports

June 18th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — U.S. distance runner and Iowa native Lisa Uhl never won a state title while competing for Fort Dodge High. Uhl returns to Drake Stadium nearly a decade later in position to qualify for the world championships. It’ll be a short commute to Des Moines for Uhl, a three-time NCAA outdoor champion, an Olympian and one of the favorites in the 10,000-meter race Thursday at the U.S. championships.

For the past 10 months, Uhl has been living in Des Moines and training with her former Iowa State coach, Corey Ihmels, after an unpleasant two-year stay in Oregon. Uhl says she’s much happier since returning to central Iowa.

Lolo Jones’ attempt at humor backfires

Sports

June 18th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Lolo Jones’ attempt at humor in a video that’s gone viral received a chilly reception from some members of the bobsledding community. Like that, the U.S. hurdler finds herself under scrutiny again. Jones posted a Vine video in which she pokes fun at a check she received for $741.84 in prize money from the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation. In the spoof, she picks up the phone and says, “I’m going to be a little bit late on my rent.”

And now, instead of concentrating on the U.S. championships this week in her hometown, she’s explaining herself. She insisted it was simply a joke and has already talked to some of her bobsledding teammates. She says, “none of the girl teammates I work with took offense.”
