Demare Dezeurn of Bishop Alemany runs 100 meters in 10.32 seconds, second fastest in state
Demare Dezeurn said he runs track to help his receiving skills in football. "This is for football to get me faster," he said before running the 100 meters at the Thursday's Mission League track and field finals on Thursday at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. Advertisement His coach at Bishop Alemany, Terrell Stanley, said he gave Dezeurn permission to run a fast time. And that's what he did, waving his arms up and down at the finish and then learning his time of 10.32 seconds was second best in the state this season behind state champion Brandon Arrington of San Diego Mt. Miguel. He also ran the 200 in 21.11. His 100 time ties the league record set by Rodney Glass of Notre Dame in 2006. Not bad for a sophomore. He's had to be patient this season while training under Stanley, a new coach who wanted to improve Dezeurn's stride. He ran 10.38 seconds at the Arcadia Invitational behind Arrington and is on a path to keep lowering his times leading up to the state championships at the end of the month. Advertisement "He just has to wait a little longer," Stanley said. Dezeurn has announced he's transferring to Palisades at the end of this semester to catch passes from quarterback Jack Thomas. He'll be the fastest receiver in the City Section. Another athlete turning in a top performance was junior Ejam Yohannes of Loyola. He set a school record in the 400 with a time of 47.28 seconds. Sophomore Quincy Hearn of Notre Dame was second in 47.84. Notre Dame's 4x100 relay team set a school record at 40.87. The team was Nikko Petronicolos, Hearn, Ehimen Oyamendan and Tre Fernandez. Matthew Browner of Chaminade won the long jump at 22-8. Advertisement Bishop Alemany's Breelyn Newsome won the girls' 100 in 11.98 and the 200 in 24.57. Sign up for the L.A.

MSNBC Taps Washington Post's Jackie Alemany as ‘Weekend' Co-Host
MSNBC is, like other cable-news mainstays, giving roundtable shows a harder spin. Jackie Alemany, who has logged stints covering politics at both CBS News and The Washington Post, will move to MSNBC, where she will serve as co-host of one of its 'The Weekend' panel programs and as a Washington correspondent. Alemany will anchor a morning version of 'The Weekend' alongside Jonathan Capehart, who has worked Saturdays and Sundays for MSNBC for the past few years, and Eugene Daniels, the Politico correspondent whose move to MSNBC was confirmed Monday. More from Variety MSNBC Layoffs Target 99 Union Staffers, WGA East Claims Keith Olbermann Slams MSNBC for Cutting Ties With Joy Reid and Other POC Hosts: 'A Purge So Brutally Racist It Makes You Think It Was Done by Musk' Rachel Maddow Sounds Off on Major MSNBC Line-Up Changes and Exit of Joy Reid: 'I Think It Is a Bad Mistake to Let Her Walk Out the Door' The new host unveiled her new role Tuesday on 'Morning Joe.' 'Jackie has built a reputation of accountability journalism covering the nation's capital from both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue,' said Rebecca Kutler, MSNBC's president, in a statement. 'Her addition as a co-host of 'The Weekend' in the mornings, alongside Eugene Daniels and Jonathan Capehart, solidifies this trio as a trusted roundtable of experts and insiders our audience is looking forward to waking up with every Saturday and Sunday.' Alemany's hire is just the latest personnel move by Kutler, who has wasted little time in overhauling the network as it grapples with being a progressive monitor of an era when conservative politics hold considerable sway and as MSNBC prepares to be spun off along with other cable networks into a new publicly-traded entity, sundering its long-held ties with NBC News. The network has, like rival CNN, had to contend with a downturn in viewership following the 2024 election. Both outlets have overhauled their TV lineups in response. The executive, who decided to replace Joy Reid at 7 p.m. with the trio of Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez and Alex Wagner at 9 p.m. with Jen Psaki, has vowed to establish a separate newsgathering apparatus for MSNBC. Alemany will have a focus on fact-finding. 'I'm thrilled to join MSNBC's cohort of exceptional reporters and journalists in covering Washington during this critical period for fair and unflinching journalism,' she said in a statement. 'MSNBC continues to provide much needed context and insight to consequential stories, and the network's investment in original reporting and its rapidly expanding Washington bureau signals its ambitions and commitment to viewers and agenda-setting journalism as a whole.' MSNBC is expanding its use of panel shows in tandem with its two main competitors. At Fox News Channel, the roundtable program 'The Five' is typically the most-watched hour on the schedule, and the network's grid also has room for 'The Big Weekend Show' and 'Outnumbered.' CNN has gained some traction with the 10 p.m. panel program 'NewsNight,' anchored by Abby Phillip. News executives like the format because it's not reliant on a single personality and allows networks to showcase many different correspondents, who, if they grow popular enough, might be moved into a program all their own. In some ways, MSNBC is coming full circle on roundtables. In the middle of last decade, MSNBC launched a mid-afternoon hour called 'The Cycle,' which relied on co-hosts including at the time relative unknowns such as Ari Melber, S.E. Cupp, Steve Kornacki, Touré, Krystal Ball and Abby Huntsman. Many members of that group went on to bigger cable-news assignments. MSNBC is also creating an evening edition of 'The Weekend' that will be led by Ayman Mohyeldin, who had been anchoring weekend primetime hours. Co-hosts have yet to be named. Alemany had recently been assigned to the White House for the Washington Post, and has contributed to coverage of the second Trump administration's efforts to restructure the federal government. She has also covered the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, and founded and led the early-morning Post newsletter now known as the Early Brief. She was a member of a Washington Post team that received the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the January 6 attack.

MSNBC has hired The Washington Post's Jackie Alemany as a Washington correspondent and co-host of The Weekend.
