American teenager Quincy Wilson breaks under-18 400m record for fourth time
Quincy Wilson ran 44.10 seconds for 400m at the Ed Murphey Classic in Memphis to break the under-18 world's best mark for the fourth time. Wilson, who turned 17 this January, beat a field including senior United States athletes Bryce Deadmon and Elija Godwin, both Olympic and World Championship relay medallists. Advertisement 'If you see my races before, I haven't been getting out (of the blocks well),' Wilson told the crowd after. 'My coach has been telling me 'stay on the process, do what we've got to do.' 'I went out there and shot out like a bullet. I'm super thankful and blessed.' He was running in lane five, inside Bahamian Steve Gardiner, who was the 400m individual champion at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Wilson got out so quickly that he was up on Gardiner's shoulder by 80m, though the 29-year-old did pull up before the end of the race. The performance means the teenager now accounts for six of the top 10 fastest times ever run by an under-18, and it moves him up to second on the under-20 all-time list — behind American Steve Lewis, who clocked 43.87s at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul as a 19-year-old. So far in 2025, only Zakithi Nene (43.76s), Khaleb McRae (43.91s) and Jacory Patterson (43.98s) have run faster for 400m than Wilson, who is tied fourth with 2024 Olympic silver medallist Matthew Hudson-Smith. He is still a high schooler. In February and March he strung together an excellent indoor season, finishing fifth at the US indoor national championships, and became the first athlete to run sub-46s indoors for 400m before turning 18. Wilson clocked 45.66s in Boston at the start of February and then went back there the following month to win the individual title at the high school national championships. He ended that meet by anchoring Bullis to the 4x400m relay gold in a time which bettered their own national record (3:09.44). Wilson anchored them to another national high school record last month at Penn Relays, splitting a 43.99s 400m as the final runner of the quartet. Their combined time was 3:06.31s, breaking a record which had stood for 40 years. US trials for the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo start at the end of this month. Wilson became the youngest American male Olympian in track and field last year when he went to the Paris Games as part of the relay squad — he is the youngest male track gold medallist, having led off the men's 4x400m in the heats (heat runners were also given medals even if they did not run in the final itself).

VIN'S PEOPLE: Marine Unit at Manatee County Sheriff's Office honored for rescue effort
A salute to Marine Unit Deputies William McBride and Richard Brissette, Manatee County Sheriff's Office Deputies of the Month for June. They were the first to respond to a call last March involving a small fishing boat sinking near the Misener Bridge in Pinellas County. With the boat filling with water, the deputies quickly began assisting the passengers – one was pregnant – onto the MCSO vessel. But realizing both vessels were drifting dangerously close to the bridge, Brissette threw a line to the boat captain who tied off his craft to theirs. With McBride steering, the deputies towed the sinking vessel to safety. Shortly thereafter they transferred the passengers to Eckerd College Search-and-Rescue, which assists the U.S. Coast Guard. · That's 37 years of wedded bliss for Barb and Paul Maechtle. · Props to Manatee High Sugar 'Canes Olive Imerman, Sophie Potillo and Courtney Schultz, who earned All-America Dancer status at the recent Universal Dance Association Summer Camp in Tampa. Olive made the final three for Drill Down Queen and Sophie was named a College Combine Standout. Among the honors accrued by the Sugar 'Canes were a Superior Trophy for a performance routine, Full Out 110 Percent Award, first place in Home Routine, and first-place blue ribbons in evaluations for all of director Kourtney Kalahar's dancers. The Sugar 'Canes include Sydney Brewer, Sophia Ciampi, Audrey Cummmings, Kasha Drummond, Jordyn Falcone, Ava Macy, Delilah Parmalee, Addie Reed, Kendall Steffensen, Maci Steffensen, Faith Wright and Emma Wyar. · Say it ain't so! Brittany Kitchie is one year shy of the Big 4-0! · Big ups to Bradenton Marauders outfielder Edward Florentino, Florida State League Player of the Week (June 30-July 6). The first Marauder to be so honored this season, Florentino went 8-for-23 (.348), with three home runs, six RBI, three doubles and three stolen bases. The 18-year-old prospect was promoted to the Marauders June 21. · Tracy Cappozella is 39. Again. · A bow to Dr. Jose Erbella on 20 years as a Manatee Memorial Hospital surgeon. · And Nyssa Gartley is 29. Again. · The recent passing of my father-in-law Jim Manring at 87 has been heartbreaking for my wife, Sherri, her sisters Lynn and Chris, our immediate family and friends. Yet the good memories they share are many. Here's one of mine. Years ago I was parking my pickup at night in front of the Whitfield home of my future in-laws, where Sherri was waiting with Jim and Sue, her mom. Well, my passenger side window got a little too close to the mailbox and … BANG! So a few minutes later, there I was, standing in their doorway, the mailbox and part of the post under one arm. You can imagine the looks on their faces. Then they burst out laughing. I was still in their good graces. Of course, I had to pay for the lumber so Pop could fix the mailbox. May Godspeed, Jim.

Plaschke: Kobe Bryant has one more lesson for LeBron James — how to retire
The news seemed routine. The ramifications could be resounding. Late last month, LeBron James exercised his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers for next season. It was an expected transaction that, at first weary glance, appeared to be no big deal. Advertisement Of course he would take the guaranteed money, more than anyone else in the league besides Brooklyn could give him. Of course he would stay in Los Angeles, where son Bronny sits on the bench and his home sits on a hill and his myriad businesses are sitting pretty. Of course, of course, of course … but … Bronny James (9) leaves the court ahead of father LeBron after a win over Minnesota, during which they became the first father and son to play together in the NBA on Oct. 20, 2024. (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times) Wait a minute. There was a catch. For the first time since James arrived here seven years ago, there was no second or third or fourth year attached to his contract. The Lakers didn't offer him an extension. They refused to guarantee him a spot here after next spring. For the first time in his Laker career — actually, the first time in his entire 23-year career — James will thus play this season on an expiring contract. Advertisement In NBA speak, that means two words. Trade bait. Except James has a no-trade clause, and it's unimaginable he would agree to go to another team that would have to gut their roster to match his salary. So for the first time, the wiley, elusive, flexible LeBron James is stuck. He's stuck on a team clearly catering to the needs of a different superstar in Luka Doncic. Read more: Hernández: Can LeBron James help maddening Deandre Ayton transform into a reliable center? He's stuck on a team that might be viewing his contract not as an asset but an albatross. He's stuck on a team that might be looking to get rid of him but can't. Advertisement He's stuck on a team where he said he wants to end his career, but where that ending might eventually be out of his control. He could perhaps free himself by thinking about Nov. 29, 2015. That is the date that Kobe Bryant, a month into his 20th season, officially announced his retirement. You remember it, right? What happened next was the most surprisingly delightful farewell season-long tour in the history of sports. 'I thought everybody hated me,' Bryant said at the time. 'It's really cool, man.' Hate him? America loved him, and showed him that love in every NBA arena across the country, standing ovations from coast to coast as he cruised his way toward that stunning 60-point career finale. Advertisement The Lakers were generally terrible, the hobbled Bryant was mostly awful, but the nights were wholly magical, the stone-faced bad guy opening himself up to a national respect and admiration that he never knew existed. It was important that he saw this before he retired. It became infinitely more important that he saw this before he died. LeBron James flexes for the crowd during a game against the Hornets. (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times) At the end of the tour I wrote, '... a final act that, in typical Kobe Bryant fashion, was unlike any other in the history of American sports. Opening up to a world he never trusted, becoming accessible and embraceable after years of stony intensity, Bryant used the last five months to flip the narrative on his life and career, erasing the darkness of a villain and crystallizing the glow of a hero.' Bryant had said before the season that he would never do a farewell tour, that he didn't want to be lauded like baseball fans lauded the prolonged retirement journey of the New York Yankees' Derek Jeter. Advertisement "We're completely different people; I couldn't do that," he said. Yet saddled with an expiring contract just like James, Bryant ultimately wanted to do something that James might consider, giving the organization a head start at rebuilding while controlling his own narrative. Before Bryant's decision could be leaked, he announced it himself in an open letter to basketball that was so touching it became an Oscar-winning film. He even arranged for a copy of the letter, sealed in an envelope embossed with gold, to be placed on the seat of every fan attending that night's game at then-Staples Center against the Indiana Pacers. Not exactly a T-shirt, huh? It was elegant, it was classy, it was perfect, just like the tour, initially criticized in this space as being selfish before your humbled correspondent finally realized that Bryant was right, it was really, really cool. Advertisement "It's fun. I've been enjoying it," Bryant said. "It's been great to kind of go from city to city and say thank you to all the fans and be able to feel that in return." You hear that, LeBron? This is not a call for James to retire, but a call for James to begin considering how that will happen, and how the classy Lakers would nail it if it happened here. Lakers star LeBron James battles three-time MVP Nikola Jokic of the Nuggets for rebounding position during a playoff game in Denver. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times) Granted, the James and Bryant situations are not comparable. Even though James is 40, and Bryant was 37, James is still one of the league's best players while Bryant was statistically one of its worst. And while James is still physically powerful, Bryant never fully recovered from his torn Achilles and was battered and broken. Advertisement James might have more gas in the tank while Bryant was clearly done. But James himself has indicated that he probably has, at most, two years left. And every season his injuries become more insistent and debilitating. And now that the Lakers are under new ownership with no ties to James, and now that current management has already given this team to Doncic, James doesn't have much of a future here. He has made noise about going back to Cleveland, and maybe after this season he'll want to return to where his career started. But if he's even thinking about retirement after this year — a legitimate option for the first time — he shouldn't wait to do so while walking off the court following an early-round loss by a mediocre Laker team. Advertisement Nobody does retirement tours like the Lakers. And nobody has ever done one like Kobe Bryant. Decidedly in the twilight of his career, LeBron James can learn from both.
