IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Top-ranked American wrestler Jordan Burroughs secured his spot in the Rio Games on Sunday at the Olympic Team Trials, in Iowa City. Burroughs, who has three world titles along with an Olympic gold medal from 2012, beat Andrew Howe 9-3 and 10-0 in a best-of-three finals series.
Twenty-year-old Kyle Snyder, the youngest world champion in U.S. history, qualified for his first Olympics at 97 kilograms. Snyder beat Jake Varner, the 2012 London Games gold medalist, 4-4, 4-0 and 6-1. Women’s 75-kilogram freestyle star Adeline Gray, a three-time world champion, is also headed to Rio after beating Victoria Francis 11-0 and 10-0.
ATLANTA (AP) — Brandon Moss and Matt Carpenter hit three-run homers and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Braves 12-7 on Sunday to keep Atlanta as the only NL team without a win. The Braves (0-5) also lost right-hander Dan Winkler, who suffered a fractured right elbow while throwing a pitch in the seventh. He left the mound in obvious pain after throwing a pitch behind Randal Grichuk.
The Cardinals completed the three-game sweep despite a poor start from Adam Wainwright, who allowed five runs in five innings. After rallying for a 7-6 lead in the eighth, the Cardinals put the game away with five runs in the ninth to score 12 runs for the second straight day. Aledmys Diaz hit a two-run double off Jose Ramirez in the ninth before Carpenter’s three-run homer.
ATLANTA (AP) — Pitcher Carlos Martinez drove in two runs, matching the total he allowed in six innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat Julio Teheran and the winless Atlanta Braves 12-2 on Saturday night. At 0-4, Atlanta is the only NL team without a victory this season. Martinez (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks.
The Cardinals have scored a combined 19 runs while winning the first two games of the weekend series. They were held to only seven runs in three losses at Pittsburgh to open the season. Kolten Wong had three hits, scored two runs and also reached on one of Atlanta’s two errors. Aledmys Diaz had two hits, including an RBI off John Gant in the eighth.
Teheran (0-1) gave up four earned runs on six hits and four walks in four innings. He also threw two wild pitches.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Wrestlers Tervel Dlagnev, Ben Provisor and Elena Pirozhkova secured trips to the Rio Olympics with wins Saturday at the U.S. Team Trials. Dlagnev beat Zach Rey twice in a best-of-three finals series at freestyle heavyweight to earn his second trip to the Olympics.
Provisor pinned Jacob Clark in the finals to earn the U.S. spot at 85 kilograms in the Greco-Roman discipline. Pirozhkova, who represented the U.S. at the London Games in 2012, pinned Erin Clodgo in the second match of the finals to earn her second straight Olympic berth at women’s 63 kilograms.
LOS ANGELES – Iowa State senior Georges Niang has been announced as the winner of the 2016 Karl Malone Award, presented annually to the nation’s top college basketball power forward by Basketball Hall of Fame. Niang was named the recipient of the award Friday evening on ESPN’s College Basketball Awards Show, which was held at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.
Niang, who has re-written the Iowa State record books, is the first Cyclone men’s basketball player to win an individual postseason award. He is the first two-time All-American in school history after earning second-team honors from the Associated Press, National Association of Basketball Coaches and the United States Basketball Writers Association.
Niang averaged 20.5 points and shot 54.6 percent from the field, 39.2 percent behind the arc and 80.7 percent at the free-throw line en route to earning consensus All-America honors in his final collegiate season.
The unanimous All-Big 12 First-Team selection was a dominant force on the offensive end, scoring in double figures in all 35 games and posting 17 games with 20 or more points.
He averaged 28.7 points in three NCAA Tournament games, becoming just the fifth player in tournament history to score 28 or more points in three consecutive games.
Niang finished second in the Big 12 in scoring and was the only player in the league to rank among the top-10 in rebounds and assists.
