Die Macht » Australia the bronze medal in the final of the 4x100m

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland coach Brenda Frese is still tinkering with her lineup before the Terrapins head into a more challenging part of their schedule.A deep and talented roster has given her plenty of options.Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scored 19 points and No. 6 Maryland routed Maryland-Eastern Shore 106-61 on Wednesday night.Maryland (2-0) got another big game from two of its highly touted freshmen, Kaila Charles and Destiny Slocum, both of whom got their second straight start. Slocum had 10 points, hitting three 3-pointers. Charles scored 14 points. Another freshman Jenna Staiti scored all 10 of her points in the second half and had 14 rebounds.We spend a lot of time talking about when youre number is called be ready to play, Frese said. I think you see that we have a lot of combinations that we can go with. Defensively, we have to get a lot better.Maryland shot 45 of 80 (56 percent) from the field and scored 22 points off 12 turnovers. Brionna Jones had 17 points and grabbed eight rebounds, two shy of 34th career double-double.The Terrapins beat Maryland-Eastern Shore 106-30 last year and were never threatened in this one. Walker-Kimbrough made six of seven shots from the field for 16 points and Maryland led 54-29 at the half.I thought we played together, Walker-Kimbrough said.

We have so many weapons.The Hawks were just 10 of 29 (34.5 percent) from the field and were outrebounded 29-12 in the opening two quarters.Maryland continued to pull away in the third quarter and a jumper by Charles at the buzzer boosted the margin to 80-50. Kiah Gillespie had six of her 12 points the final quarter for the Terps.Ciani Byrom led the Hawks (1-1) with 14 points, Mariah McCoy finished with 10.I thought the kids showed a lot of character, a lot of fight, Hawks coach Fred Batchelor said. They knew we were playing against a team where we were an inferior opponent. I was really impressed with the ability of our kids to keep their heads up and continue to have some confidence.BIG PICTUREUMES: Despite the loss, Maryland-Eastern Shore has an experienced lineup that could make a run for a title in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.Maryland: The Terrapins high-powered offense has completely overmatched their opening two opponents and scored at least 100 points for the second straight game.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Terrapins did nothing to hurt their ranking. With a couple of the top teams playing each other over the next few days, they could move up.SPREADING THE WEALTHNo player on Maryland has been on the floor for more than 25 minutes in either of the opening two games.

At least 12 players have scored points in both of the Terrapins victories this season.HELP ON THE WAYMaryland-Eastern Shore guard Moengaroa Subritzky won an appeal for another year of eligibility but must sit out the first three games.

Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season. He is 18-20 in his career with three saves and a 3. Two days ago, the name Kyle Chalmers would have left a lot of people scratching their head -- even after he swam in Australias Olympic bronze medal-winning 4x100m freestyle relay. How things change.Chalmers is Australias latest sporting hero after he became the nations first Olympic 100m freestyle gold medalist since Mike Wenden in the 1968 Games in Mexico City.So who is Kyle Chalmers?His father, Brett Chalmers, is a South Australian football icon who built his reputation with state league club Port Adelaide. He played 120 games that earned four premierships as well as a Jack Oatey Medal as man of the match in the 1998 grand final. Chalmers also played a total of 75 games for both Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide in the Australian Football League, and the allure of football seemed to be drawing his son in.Growing up in Port Lincoln, South Australia, Kyle Chalmers dreamed of following in his fathers footsteps. He stumbled into swimming only when he decided to participate in a school swimming carnival for fun. But powered by his enormous feet -- size 11 at age 11 -- Kyle stormed to victory in his school carnival, and things snowballed. Seven hour-plus journeys to compete in South Australian championships became de rigueur, and his swimming rose to levels that saw him qualify for national titles and thus commit more time to swimming than to football.Chalmers broke his first national age record in 2012, in the 13-and-under 100m freestyle. Since then, he has claimed every Australian age record in this event and added the world junior mark in the heats at Rio 2016.Chalmers was competitive as an under-age entrant at the World Youth Olympics in 2014, but it wasnt until the 2015 world championships that he began to stand out from the crowd. Australia failed to qualify for the 4x100m freestyle relay final, but Chalmers clocked a 47.92 split as the second man off the blocks. Of the 120 swimmers who competed in the heats, Chalmers time was the third fastest.He stamped himself a swimmer to watch with three gold medals at the 2015 world junior championships in Singapore, where he touched the wall first in the 100m freestyle (48.dddddddddddd.47), 50m freestyle (22.19) and 4x100 freestyle relay (48.41 split). Attending school at Immanuel College in Adelaide, Chalmers decided to concentrate on his Olympics preparation while undertaking work experience at AFL club Port Adelaide.Although he went to the 2016 Australian Olympic trials in Adelaide as a rising star, he still had not made his name. With 2012 Olympic silver medalist James Magnussen missing automatic selection, Chalmers went under the radar, even after he finished second to golden boy Cam McEvoy in a time that broke the world junior record.Chalmers arrived in Rio de Janeiro still not spoken about in major circles, and it wasnt until his split time in the 4x100m freestyle heats that people began to take notice. His time of 47.04 was easily the quickest of any swimmer in the heats. Then Chalmers played a critical role in securing Australia the bronze medal in the final of the 4x100m relay, as he swam the second leg and moved Australia from eighth to second. Still, many still thought McEvoy was the Australian to beat in the individual event.Chalmers turned in a seventh-place finish in the semifinal of the 100m freestyle, and many thought he had too much to overcome. Having built his fast-finishing style on that of childhood idol Ian Thorpe, however, Chalmers knew he was a chance.With his now size 15 feet powering him along, he had what it took. Chalmers touched the wall in 47.88, the second-fastest qualifying time, behind defending champion Nathan Adrian (47.83) and ahead of McEvoy (47.93). He then produced an identical game plan in the final: After another slow start, he turned in seventh place before powering home to claim the title of sprint king.The allure of AFL still floats around, but the mantra of being Australias swimming icon -- and an Olympic champion -- should suffice for now.
