Is it the same Craig Pickering? It seems likely...but Pickering was from England.

The Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs by the Sacramento Kings. So we get to see more of Sabonis and less of Draymond. That's a good thing.

Posted on the T&FN message board after Boling's 45.23 400m. "Poor Matt Boiling. He's a jack of all trades master of none type. I forsee him being a mixed relay global champ for the rest of his career. The sprints in America are just too competitive. He needs to start looking for that Irish...

Some great performances from the Australian Championships - especially from the youngsters! Thanks for the update.

From what I've read, Steiner had an 'atrocious' start in her race, and would have otherwise run a sub 11 time. So that's good news and bad news, both.

Filippo Tortu 10.15 for last place in the 1st heat. Still, a very solid time...almost surprising. I was about ready to give up on him. Thankfully, I was wrong. Correa did not start in the 2nd heat. Abby Steiner won her heat in a very good time of 11.05. It seems that she is fully...

Matthew Boling just won his heat of the 400m in 45.23. A fairly decent time.

I hope Tortu shows us something today - he's fallen off the past years, but it this is an Olympic year. If he is to 'comeback' this is the year to do it. But honestly, I am worried that his best days are behind him. Correa is in decent shape - he ran 20.45 200m earlier this season. Hope he's...

I just read that he had/has a 'knee niggle.'

As noted elsewhere, 18 year old Sebastian Sultana won the Australian 100m Championships. In the semi-finals, he set a PB of 10.17. Another teenager of note, 15 year old Mason McGroder long jumped 7.73m (25ft - 4-3/8") to win the U20 Long Jump.

Yikes! That's a very poor performance by Browning, not to be in the top 3 of his National Championships. I wonder what the problem is?

But looking at the photo, I don't see anything that indicates any African heritage, as you imply. His nose is high and sharp. If anything, he looks somewhat Jewish. And I don't think his father would have been a Belgian governor in the Congo, if he were part black. Anyway, there was only one...

Based on this photo and information, I would disagree. Also there was only one Borlee brother on this relay team. https://en.geneastar.org/genealogy/borleejacqu/jacques-borlee

Matthew Boling 20.52 at the Tom Jones Invitational today - 5th place. Tomorrow Filippo Tortu and Renan Correa and Abby Steiner run in the 100m.

Hmm.... that's not the way I remember it. Perhaps it was in another game. Or perhaps it was at halftime where they added to his total. Will have to do some research.
