McMahon delivers game winning hit late to top Padres

The Nebraska High School Finals Rodeo features the top thirty contestants in each of thirteen events (top sixty in the team roping.) The high school students have accumulated points throughout the fall and spring seasons, and the following is a look at several of the event leaders.

Dane Pokorny&nbsp;is back to defend his 2021 steer wrestling title.

The Stapleton cowboy, a 2022 graduate of Thedford High School, leads the steer wrestling this year, a mere eight points ahead of his friend, Coy Johnston.

His rodeo year has been good, he said, “consistent. I’ve been picking up points every weekend.”

Not only does Pokorny excel in rodeo, but he was part of the Thedford High football team that won the state runner-up title in Class D2. He was all-state honorary caption and all-state running back, and started all four years in both football and basketball.

And this is the last state finals rodeo for Pokorny’s horse, Shorty. He will be retired after Pokorny rides him at state finals, and, if he qualifies, at the National High School Finals. After that, it’s out to pasture, to be “loved on,” Pokorny said.

Pokorny is the son of Brad and Paula Pokorny. He has also qualified for the finals in the team roping.

Reagan McIntyre, Grand Island, has burst into the high school rodeo world in grand fashion.

The fifteen-year-old cowgirl who just finished her freshman year is leading two events: the breakaway roping and the goat tying,&nbsp;<a>with a double-digit lead in the breakaway over&nbsp;</a>the number two cowgirl, Makayla Wray.

McIntyre excelled in junior high rodeo, finishing at the National Junior High Finals in sixth place in the world in the breakaway. “That gave me the confidence going into high school,” she said. “I knew there was tons of tough competition (in high school) so I’d have to take a step up, coming into the high school ranks.”

A student at Grand Island Northwest, she participates in volleyball, basketball and track, and was on the honor roll. Her 4x800 relay team finished seventh in Class B at the state track meet this year.

The oldest of four children of Jeremy and Karen McIntyre, Reagan admits the entire family is competitive when playing games, such as spoons. “It’s definitely pretty intense,” she laughed. “We have pretty much stopped playing because (the games) get so competitive.”

She has a plan for state finals. “I’m just going to go into it how I go into every run. It’s just another weekend where you have to lay down solid runs and stay on the top of your game.” She has also qualified for the state finals in the pole bending, team roping and barrel racing.

In the bareback riding,&nbsp;Tate Miller&nbsp;is confidently in first place.

The Springview cowboy has a six-point lead over the number two man, Spencer Denaeyer.

His strong rodeo season has been good, he said, after a weak showing at the 2021 National High School Finals Rodeo.

At Nationals last year, “I didn’t have the Nationals I’d have liked, and my confidence was down, coming into my junior year,” he said. “I’ve won a lot of (high school) rodeos this year, helping get my points up and my confidence built back up. I had a good season, so it boosted my confidence.”

Miller, who will be a senior at Keya Paha County High School this fall, plays football and is a member of the FFA and National Honor Society.

In the boys cutting,&nbsp;Cooper Bass&nbsp;sits atop the leaderboard.

The Brewster cowboy, a graduate of online high school, has had an exceptional year in the cutting. “I’ve done very, very well,” he said. “My mare has been working great.”

He will also come into state finals in first place in the team roping, heading for Zach Bradley, and in a third event, the tie-down roping, in fourteenth place.

Because Bass has taken classes online, he’s had time for a job, working at three different sale barns, sometimes putting in 24 hour shifts. He also rides horses for others, putting thirty days of training on them.

Other leaders (as of press time) heading into the weekend’s finals include Hailey Witte, Crookston (barrel racing); Hunter Boydston, Grover, Colo. (bull riding); Brooke Forre, Newman Grove (girls cutting); Raina Swanson, Genoa (pole bending); Monte Bailey, Lakeside (saddle bronc riding); Sid Miller, Merna (tie-down roping) Brady Renner, Ericson (heeler); and Tatum Olson, Bloomfield (reined cow horse).

The thirteen events include bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, steer&nbsp;wrestling, team roping, breakaway roping, goat tying, pole bending, barrel racing, boys cutting, girls cutting, reined cow horse and bull riding.&nbsp;

The first go-round takes place June 10 at 11 am and 6 pm. The second go-round is June 11 at 11 am and 6 pm. After the two rounds, the top ten contestants in each event will advance to the short round on June 12 at 1 pm. The cutting will be held at 7 am on June 10-11, with the final round at 8 am on June 12. The reined cow horse will be at 10 am on June 10-11.

The top four in each event, after the state finals are over, qualify for the National High School Finals Rodeo, held this year in Gillette, Wyo., July 17-23.

The 2022-2023 Miss Nebraska High School Rodeo Queen will be crowned prior to the performance on June 12.&nbsp;

(due to a tie for 30th&nbsp;place, there are 31 qualified goat tyers)

(due to a tie for 30th&nbsp;place, there are 32 qualified pole benders)

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Donovan Walton scored on a fielding error by Charlie Blackmon in the 10th inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Walton began the inning at second base and stayed there after pinch-hitter Brandon Crawford popped out. Luis González followed with a slow single to right field off Carlos Estevez that eluded Blackmon — who had earlier thrown a runner out at the plate — as Walton rounded third, then scampered home with the winning run. Mike Yastrzemski had three hits and Thairo Estrada added an RBI single for the Giants.

Former Nebraska head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/frank-solich/23079">Frank Solich</a>&nbsp;is one of nine FBS coaches to earn a spot on the 2023 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame announced the ballot of players and coaches on Monday morning. Solich in his first season of eligibility on the ballot after retiring as head coach at Ohio University in July of 2021. During his 22 seasons as a head coach, Solich compiled a record of 173-101, including a 58-19 record in six seasons as Nebraska's head coach from 1998 to 2003. Solich led the Huskers to the 1999 Big 12 Conference championship. NU added a co-Big 12 North Division title in 2001, when the Huskers met Miami in the Rose Bowl for the national championship. The Huskers finished No. 3 in the AP Poll in 1999 after beating Tennessee in the Fiesta Bowl and rolling to a 22-6 win over Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game. Nebraska added a final No. 8 national ranking by the Associated Press in both 2000 and 2001. The 2001 Huskers featured the nation's top college player-Heisman Trophy winner and 2020 Hall of Fame inductee Eric Crouch. A four-year starter, Crouch added Walter Camp National Player-of-the-Year and Davey O'Brien awards while becoming Nebraska's career leader in total offense. A product of the Nebraska football program first as a player, then as an assistant coach, Solich's career at Nebraska&nbsp;spanned 41 seasons since first arriving in Lincoln in 1962 to play fullback in Coach Bob Devaney's first season. Although Solich&nbsp;was not with Nebraska during all 42 of those seasons, as he spent years as a high school head coach in Nebraska before joining the Husker coaching staff as an assistant in 1979. During his playing and coaching tenure as a Husker, all 29 Nebraska teams&nbsp;he was associated with&nbsp;played in a bowl game. In his final game as NU's assistant head coach and running backs coach, Solich helped the Huskers to a third national championship in a four-year span with a resounding 42-17 win over Tennessee in the Orange Bowl, helping Osborne go out as a reigning national champion. Following his head coaching career at Nebraska, Solich guided Ohio University's program for 16 seasons from 2005 to 2020. During his time at Ohio, Solich coached the Bobcats to 12 winning seasons, 11 bowl appearances and four MAC East division titles.&nbsp; He is the winningest coach in the history of the Mid-American Conference.

Former Nebraska head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://huskers.com/sports/football/roster/frank-solich/23079">Frank Solich</a>&nbsp;is one of nine FBS coaches to earn a spot on the 2023 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame announced the ballot of players and coaches on Monday morning.

During his 22 seasons as a head coach, Solich compiled a record of 173-101, including a 58-19 record in six seasons as Nebraska's head coach from 1998 to 2003. Solich led the Huskers to the 1999 Big 12 Conference championship. NU added a co-Big 12 North Division title in 2001, when the Huskers met Miami in the Rose Bowl for the national championship. The Huskers finished No. 3 in the AP Poll in 1999 after beating Tennessee in the Fiesta Bowl and rolling to a 22-6 win over Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game. Nebraska added a final No. 8 national ranking by the Associated Press in both 2000 and 2001. The 2001 Huskers featured the nation's top college player-Heisman Trophy winner and 2020 Hall of Fame inductee Eric Crouch. A four-year starter, Crouch added Walter Camp National Player-of-the-Year and Davey O'Brien awards while becoming Nebraska's career leader in total offense. A product of the Nebraska football program first as a player, then as an assistant coach, Solich's career at Nebraska&nbsp;spanned 41 seasons since first arriving in Lincoln in 1962 to play fullback in Coach Bob Devaney's first season. Although Solich&nbsp;was not with Nebraska during all 42 of those seasons, as he spent years as a high school head coach in Nebraska before joining the Husker coaching staff as an assistant in 1979. During his playing and coaching tenure as a Husker, all 29 Nebraska teams&nbsp;he was associated with&nbsp;played in a bowl game. In his final game as NU's assistant head coach and running backs coach, Solich helped the Huskers to a third national championship in a four-year span with a resounding 42-17 win over Tennessee in the Orange Bowl, helping Osborne go out as a reigning national champion. Following his head coaching career at Nebraska, Solich guided Ohio University's program for 16 seasons from 2005 to 2020. During his time at Ohio, Solich coached the Bobcats to 12 winning seasons, 11 bowl appearances and four MAC East division titles.&nbsp; He is the winningest coach in the history of the Mid-American Conference. In addition to serving as the head coach for one Hall of Fame player (Crouch) and an assistant for another (Mike Rozier), Solich played for Hall of Fame head coach Bob Devaney and worked for 19 seasons as an assistant coach under Hall of Fame coach Tom Osborne. Overall, Nebraska has 26 representatives in the College Football Hall of Fame, including 20 players and six head coaches. Zach Wiegert is the most recent honoree as part of the 2022 Hall of Fame class and will be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame in December.

DENVER (AP) — J.T. Compher scored twice, Cale Makar had a goal and two assists and the Colorado Avalanche held off the Edmonton Oilers 8-6 in Game 1 of the Western Conference final. The Avalanche’s eight goals were tied for the most in a playoff game in franchise history. Both teams needed to use backup goaltenders. Edmonton's Mike Smith was pulled after giving up six goals and Darcy Kuemper left with an upper-body injury. Twelve Avs recorded at least a point and six had multi-point games.

Chadron Nationals Legion Baseball Update

By far the youngest team in the 27 years the Chadron State College Golf Classic has been played won the championship this past weekend at Ridgeview Country Club.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The team was made up of Chadron natives Jacksyn Behrends, Trevor Berry and Tyler Westlake along with Dom Yates, who was Berry’s teammate on the golf team at Central Wyoming College at Riverton this past spring.&nbsp; Their average age is just 20.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They shot a 57, three strokes better than any other team, during the first round on Saturday when the full 18 holes were played. They maintained that margin on Sunday, when the Championship and First Flights were cut back to just nine holes because of the rain that arrived late in the afternoon. Their final score was an 87.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Berry said the two eagles on par-five holes on the back nine on Saturday was the a major factor in their victory. He added that their team was the 34th&nbsp;and final team to enter this year’s tourney.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Second place in the Championship Flight went to the team that perennially wins the tournament.&nbsp; It features Tom Simons of Chadron and his sons Brett and Scott and this year included Randy Horse.&nbsp; They shot a 61 on Saturday and a 30 on Sunday.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Their 91 total was matched by a team comprised of Dan Anderson, Cory Olson and Jordan Raben, all of Chadron, and Ryan Osmotherly of Crawford, but the Simons-Horse team used a scorecard playoff to claim second place

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The First Flight was won by a team made up of three members of the Chadron State baseball team in 1976—Kevin Emanuel of Osceola, Iowa, Dave Wiedeman of Dalton and Toby Spence of Douglas, Wyo., and Spence’s son, Logan.&nbsp; They shot a 64 on Saturday and a tournament-best 29 through the first nine holes on Sunday before the rains arrived.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This year’s tournament had another highlight. Late Saturday afternoon, Reid Rogers of Slinger, Wis., had a hole-in-one on No. 6, which stretches 180 yards.&nbsp; According to Karen Pope, who had been one of the ramrods for the tournament since it was begun in 1995, the only other hole-in-one was made during one of the early years by long-time Chadron State coach and educational leader Pat Colgate, who now lives in Massachusetts.&nbsp;

Youngest Team Ever wins CSC Golf Classic

Longest homer hit in Majors this season not enough to stop Rockies Monday

LONDON (AP) — Miami punter Lou Hedley had to fly 13,000 miles to western Australia to cash in on his name.

The tattooed Aussie and thousands of other international athletes at American colleges have been told they can’t profit from their name, image and likeness on U.S. soil — though interpretations vary about what constitutes work — so some are trekking home to do it.

In Hedley’s case, it was a 37-hour journey that included a long stopover in Qatar.

“It’s a pain in the backside having to fly over but it’s all worth it,” Hedley told The Associated Press after a day of filming promotional spots for LifeWallet in the city of Perth, where he was also visiting family before his final season with the Hurricanes this fall. “I feel like I deserve to get a little bit of money, I’ve contributed wealth to the team (with) my name, image and likeness ... so it was good to kind of get compensated for what I’ve been doing the last three years.”

Hedley declined to specify an exact figure but confirmed his NIL deal is in line with his teammates at roughly $50,000. Miami attorney John Ruiz has been&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-football-sports-business-mens-304bf21905369b71a8fc3c45ff4c2ed8">actively enlisting Hurricanes</a>&nbsp;on NIL deals through his LifeWallet healthcare company.

The 28-year-old Hedley, one of many Aussie punters in college football, said he didn’t sign anything until he touched down Down Under.

“The work is all done here, paid for over here. As long as I’m doing all my work in Australia, I’m getting paid in Australia, paying taxes in Australia and all that stuff, it’s all legal,” he said.

Nebraska basketball player Jaz Shelley also made a trip home to Australia for NIL deals, and teammate Isabelle Bourne planned to follow suit. Mustapha Amzil, a 6-foot-9 forward at Dayton, announced on social media that when he plays for the national team of his native Finland this summer he will be “open to any business and sponsorship deals.”

On the whole, though, international athletes are finding the NIL waters tricky to navigate, with mixed messages about what’s OK, even now almost a year after the NCAA&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncaa.org/news/2021/6/30/ncaa-adopts-interim-name-image-and-likeness-policy.aspx" target="_blank">lifted restrictions</a>.

Some schools have told them to avoid NIL deals altogether because&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-sports-business-celebrity-endorsements-education-4abf78b5012911f02ebee4ee6d776d7d">they could jeopardize their visa status.</a>&nbsp;Others say off U.S. soil is fine. Ultimately, the federal government is the arbiter of visa questions and deportations.

“There’s a ton of ambiguity,” said Casey Floyd, co-founder of NOCAP Sports, which is working with athletes to secure deals and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.change.org/p/name-image-and-likeness-rights-for-international-student-athletes" target="_blank">advocating for regulatory clarity</a>. “You go to some schools and they are very flexible ... and then you have a lot of schools that they just don’t want to touch it because they’re so scared of the ramifications.”

West Virginia’s international athletes, for example, “are not participating in NIL opportunities due to the current application of federal immigration regulations,” spokesman Michael Fragale said. Drexel asked its foreign athletes to “please refrain from entering into a NIL agreement or engaging in compensated NIL activity,” Mladenka Tomasevic, executive director of the International Students and Scholars Services, wrote in February.

It’s a different story at Nebraska, where the women’s basketball program&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/HuskersWBB/status/1522663625260994560" target="_blank">tweeted</a>: “International NIL made possible!” adding that when Shelley and Bourne arrive on Australian soil “they will be legally eligible to participate in NIL activity.” Shelley then promoted her T-shirts and hoodies, as well as a Lincoln restaurant.

The University of Florida told its internationals planning NIL activity in their home countries to “&nbsp;<a href="https://internationalcenter.ufl.edu/f-1-student/f-1-status-requirements/employment/international-student-athletes-and-ncaa-nil-legislation" target="_blank">properly document their physical location</a>&nbsp;” by providing form I-94 arrival/departure records, ”flight itinerary, and port of entry stamp showing abroad.”

Cal basketball player Sam Alajiki of Ireland hopes to stay around Berkeley to promote Next Up Recruitment, a company based in Manchester, England, that helps athletes land scholarships.

“He’s literally going to be retweeting content. There’s no way that can be deemed as work,” said Next Up founder Ryan Cook, who has also explored holding payments in escrow or becoming an administrator of Alajiki’s social media account and publishing that way.

“The last thing we want to do is break anyone’s visa status,” he said. “We’re working with the Cal compliance team, as well, to make sure everything is OK. We’ve not received any pushback.”

Just in case, though, the deal doesn’t begin until September. By then, there may be specific guidance from the NCAA or relevant government agencies.

The NCAA’s&nbsp;<a href="https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/ncaa/NIL/NIL_QandA.pdf" target="_blank">initial advice</a>&nbsp;said international athletes are covered by the interim NIL policy but that students “may consider” consulting with their school’s compliance official “for guidance related to maintaining their immigration status and tax implications.” If they have questions, they should write to the U.S. Student and Exchange Visitor Program.

That program — SEVP — “continues to assess” the issue, said Sarah Loicano, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Kentucky forward&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-sports-basketball-kentucky-college-abef602265ba49c099a40483f8a9a213">Oscar Tshiebwe of Congo is among those calling for Congress to help foreign student athletes. The AP player of the year, who is returning for his senior season,</a>&nbsp;recently met with Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-sports-kentucky-march-madness-basketball-8f65fcfd5b003f6fd2c9960e398a7e6d">make his case</a>. The financial benefit to Tshiebwe could exceed seven figures.

The vast majority of the athletes hold F-1 visas that largely prohibit off-campus work. On-campus work is tightly restricted. Foreign students at the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/high-school-athlete-endorsement-deals-NIL-690ca4547e8a00bf06fbd20f1dc058d8">high school</a>&nbsp;and prep level also stand to gain.

TCU tight end Alexander Honig of Germany said he hasn’t pursued the “super small” deals he’s been offered.

“Lately I’ve been really focused on my athletic path,” said Honig, who was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-christian-horned-frogs-football-football-texas-longhorns-football-nfl-college-football-37503bd65fd4dfe59c67096165a1c4df">recruited as a quarterback</a>. “I think I need to get on the field first and perform on a high level before I need to worry about NIL.”

Drexel asked its foreign athletes to “please refrain from entering into a NIL agreement or engaging in compensated NIL activity,” Mladenka Tomasevic, executive director of the International Students and Scholars Services, wrote in February.It’s a different story at Nebraska, where the women’s basketball program&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/HuskersWBB/status/1522663625260994560" target="_blank">tweeted</a>: “International NIL made possible!” adding that when Shelley and Bourne arrive on Australian soil “they will be legally eligible to participate in NIL activity.” Shelley then promoted her T-shirts and hoodies, as well as a Lincoln restaurant.The University of Florida told its internationals planning NIL activity in their home countries to “&nbsp;<a href="https://internationalcenter.ufl.edu/f-1-student/f-1-status-requirements/employment/international-student-athletes-and-ncaa-nil-legislation" target="_blank">properly document their physical location</a>&nbsp;” by providing form I-94 arrival/departure records, ”flight itinerary, and port of entry stamp showing abroad.”Cal basketball player Sam Alajiki of Ireland hopes to stay around Berkeley to promote Next Up Recruitment, a company based in Manchester, England, that helps athletes land scholarships.“He’s literally going to be retweeting content. There’s no way that can be deemed as work,” said Next Up founder Ryan Cook, who has also explored holding payments in escrow or becoming an administrator of Alajiki’s social media account and publishing that way.“The last thing we want to do is break anyone’s visa status,” he said. “We’re working with the Cal compliance team, as well, to make sure everything is OK. We’ve not received any pushback.”Just in case, though, the deal doesn’t begin until September. By then, there may be specific guidance from the NCAA or relevant government agencies.The NCAA’s&nbsp;<a href="https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/ncaa/NIL/NIL_QandA.pdf" target="_blank">initial advice</a>&nbsp;said international athletes are covered by the interim NIL policy but that students “may consider” consulting with their school’s compliance official “for guidance related to maintaining their immigration status and tax implications.” If they have questions, they should write to the U.S. Student and Exchange Visitor Program.That program — SEVP — “continues to assess” the issue, said Sarah Loicano, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.Kentucky forward&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-sports-basketball-kentucky-college-abef602265ba49c099a40483f8a9a213">Oscar Tshiebwe of Congo is among those calling for Congress to help foreign student athletes. The AP player of the year, who is returning for his senior season,</a>&nbsp;recently met with Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-sports-kentucky-march-madness-basketball-8f65fcfd5b003f6fd2c9960e398a7e6d">make his case</a>. The financial benefit to Tshiebwe could exceed seven figures.The vast majority of the athletes hold F-1 visas that largely prohibit off-campus work. On-campus work is tightly restricted. Foreign students at the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/high-school-athlete-endorsement-deals-NIL-690ca4547e8a00bf06fbd20f1dc058d8">high school</a>&nbsp;and prep level also stand to gain.TCU tight end Alexander Honig of Germany said he hasn’t pursued the “super small” deals he’s been offered.“Lately I’ve been really focused on my athletic path,” said Honig, who was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-christian-horned-frogs-football-football-texas-longhorns-football-nfl-college-football-37503bd65fd4dfe59c67096165a1c4df">recruited as a quarterback</a>. “I think I need to get on the field first and perform on a high level before I need to worry about NIL.”

'It's all legal': Foreign college athletes cash in at home

Three Chadron State College sophomores will be competing at the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships at Allendale, Mich., this weekend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They are hammer throwers Shane Collins of Bison, S.D., and Daniel Reynolds of Granby, Colo., and high jumper Jourdaine Cerenil of Pine Bluffs, Wyo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Collins and Reynolds will compete early in the three-day meet. Theirs will be the meet’s first event Thursday afternoon, starting at 12:30 (EDT).&nbsp; Cerenil won’t high jump until 2:05 p.m. on Saturday. A total of 370 men and 370 women have qualified for the national meet.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CSC Coach Riley Northrup said he’s excited to see how his trio will fare.&nbsp; He noted that each has been a pleasure to coach, always working hard and determined to improve, something they have done.&nbsp; He added that all three are in the middle of the list of 20 qualifiers in their events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Collins and Reynolds have emerged as Chadron State’s all-time leaders in the hammer throw.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After almost taking turns with the best mark the eight times they competed this season, Reynolds is the school record-holder with a throw of 203 feet, 8 inches, while Collins is second on the CSC list with a best of 203-2.&nbsp; At the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Meet in late April, Collins broke the record that had stood since 2005 with a throw of 202 even and Reynolds placed second at 201-10.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reynolds is ninth and Collins is 11th&nbsp;among the 20 national qualifiers.&nbsp; Chadron State is one of three schools to have more than one hammer thrower amongst the top 20. Championships host Grand Valley State has three and, like CSC, Missouri Southern, has two.

Cerenil is tied for 11th&nbsp;on the high jump list with a best of 5-8. Only one Chadron State coed—Jazmyn Webster—who went 5-9 ¾ in 2012--has gone higher outdoors, although Chadron native Caryn Martin cleared 5-10 indoors in 1993, when she was a senior.

Northrup notes that Cerenil has “come close” to going over 5-10 several times.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The coach said he’s proud to have three young national qualifiers, adding, “I’m also looking forward to what they will do in the future.”&nbsp;

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Nazem Kadri scored three goals, including two during a four-goal second period barrage, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the St. Louis Blues 6-3 to take a 3-1 lead in their Western Conference series. Kadri’s outburst came after he received racist death threats on social media following a first-period collision with Blues goalie Jordan Binnington in Game 3. It was Kadri's first career playoff hat trick. Erik Johnson and Devon Toews also scored and Mikko Rantanen added an empty netter for the Avalanche, while Darcy Kuemper made 17 saves. David Perron scored twice and Pavel Buchnevich had a goal and an assist for the Blues. Ville Husso made 31 saves.
