State track and field: Rosemount’s Hayden Bills sets discus state record to secure his spot as state’s best all-time thrower

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:01:57 GMT

Hayden Bills had broken the state discus record before – in practice. And the Rosemount senior grew a little frustrated those practice tosses hadn’t translated to competition.Bills set the state record in the shot put earlier this spring and won the state title in that event Thursday. But Saturday’s Class 3A state finals marked his final opportunity to break the state discus record of more than 201 feet.He took it down to the wire. The Arizona State commit locked up a state title in his earlier throws, but hadn’t yet eclipsed 200 feet heading into his sixth and final throw of the competition. It was now or never.“It was definitely kind of an ‘I’m going to leave it all out there,’ ” Bills said. “I’m either going to throw this in the dirt and foul it, or it’s going to go pretty far.”And off it flew. Bills delivered a beauty, catching the head wind perfectly. He instantly celebrated, knowing he’d made history.“I was done celeb...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:01:57 GMT

TORONTO — As a young kid, Edouard Julien used to make the trip from his home in Québec City to Toronto to watch his beloved Blue Jays play. He’d come with his dad, and sometimes a friend, too, marveling as he watched his heroes, like José Reyes, suit up for for the Jays.Jorge Polanco’s injury — the second baseman suffered a moderate left hamstring strain and was placed on the injured list on Saturday morning— opened the door for Julien to return to the big leagues and fulfill a lifelong goal.“It means a lot. I’ve been dreaming my whole life to play here,” Julien said. “I remember when I was a younger kid … just coming here to watch the Blue Jays and now to be the one that people come watch play here, it’s pretty cool.”Julien made an impression during his first pro game at the Rogers Centre on Saturday, hitting the first pitch of the game for a double. He reached base two more times, walking and later collecting a single in the Twins’ 9-4 win over the Blue Jays.It w...

Colorado Rapids defender Steven Beitashour reflects on 300th career MLS game: “I was close to falling through the cracks”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:01:57 GMT

COMMERCE CITY — Steven Beitashour spent most of his soccer career being counted out.Thus, it felt almost true to form that within days of the Rapids defender reaching a significant milestone by appearing in his 300th MLS game, his accomplishment was quickly set aside by another player in his mid-30s stealing the league’s headlines.Still, on the same week Lionel Messi announced his intention to play in MLS this summer, the Rapids made sure to shower the 36-year-old veteran with praise.“‘All of the defenders in our locker room should realize what a gem they have in him. ‘Beita’, to me, has some of the best defending instincts of anyone I’ve ever seen. He knows how to smell danger before it even happens and because of that, he’s made this fantastic career,” said head coach Robin Fraser, an MLS lifer who’s been part of the league since its inception and coached him for seven seasons.“… If you can teach Beita’s mentality, that’s...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:01:57 GMT

MIAMI — If time is running out on the Nuggets’ symbiotic relationship with Bruce Brown, at least they’ll always have a special place reserved in his pregame routine.Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals, where else but the city he was taught the ritual, belongs in the highlight reel rotation from now on. It will forever inspire comfort and confidence.In autumn of 2017, Brown was slumping. It was his second year at the University of Miami, where his responsibilities were heightened as the team’s top returning scorer. He wasn’t meeting expectations early on. A shooting drought had ripple effects on his aggressiveness. Coach Jim Larrañaga took notice and offered Brown a solution. Not X’s and O’s advice, though.“All he told me to do was go watch some highlights,” Bruce told The Post, smiling in a Miami Hurricanes ballcap. “He told me to watch my highlights.”To this day, Brown pulls up videos of his own highlights to gas himself up befo...

Athletics win fourth straight, beat Brewers 2-1 in 10 innings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:01:57 GMT

For the time being, the Athletics have thrown it into reverse.A well-placed RBI single by Aledmys Diaz put the A’s up 2-1 in the top of the 10th inning Saturday and Sam Long closed it out against the host Milwaukee Brewers for their fourth straight victory and second straight series win.The A’s improved to 16-50, have a chance to sweep the Brewers (34-31) Sunday and come home with a a 5-4 record on their longest road trip of the season — one that began with four straight losses.The A’s hadn’t won four straight games since 2021 under Bob Melvin, never winning that many in a row at any time in last year’s 102-loss season.The Athletics got six shutout innings from Paul Blackburn, who looked like the guy who pitched a scoreless inning in the All-Star game a year ago before his season went south due to injuries and dealt with middle finger issues most of this season.The bullpen made just one mistake — an 0-1 grooved slider by Richard Lovelady tha...

Contra Costa: Man accused of serial indecent exposure appeared to target Monte Vista High School, police say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:01:57 GMT

DANVILLE — On the morning of last March 13, a 17-year-old Monte Vista High School student had just parked her car on campus and was walking to class when she heard a man’s voice say, “Hi.”When the she turned, the girl saw a pants-less adult male, sitting in a four-door sedan, and very obviously masturbating in front of her. After a few seconds she overcame her shock and headed into school, then wasted no time to call police.Over the next 10 days, police not only identified a suspect, but linked him to several other similar indecent exposure incidents in Walnut Creek and Berkeley. When he was arrested, police say his phone showed a strong indicator that he’d driven to Danville looking to expose himself to a child: he allegedly searched for Monte Vista High School on Google Maps just eight minutes before the 17-year-old was accosted.The suspect, identified in court records as 40-year-old Monroe Lebeau III, was charged May 26 with six counts of indecent ex...
