Max Litchfield has set himself a medal target after qualifying for the Rio Olympics by winning his first British title. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Marcus-Williams-Jersey/ . The 21-year-old City of Sheffield swimmer recorded a time of 4:12.05 to clinch the mens 400m individual medley on day three at the British Swimming Championships in Glasgow - which double as Great Britains Olympic trials.That was inside the qualifying standard of 04:12.08 and Litchfield immediately set himself the target of going a few seconds quicker. I have dreamed of this day for years and years, he said afterwards, I always said when I was younger that I would make that Olympic team and that has become a real experience since then.It is a bit weird really but I am really, really happy.I have made the team now and, come Rio, if I get the chance to go there then obviously we can look to make the final and then kick on and get a medal.There is no reason why I cant. 4:08 won the worlds (World Championships) last year so there is no reason why I cant drop another few seconds. Fran Halsall was disappointed despite winning the Womens 50m Freestyle There were mixed feelings, however, for several other title winners who failed to meet the Rio qualifying times, including Fran Halsall and Aimee Wilmott.Halsall stormed to the 50m freestyle title in 24.48 but was shy of the qualifying time of 24.37.The 26-year-old Loughborough University swimmer said: Trials are hard for me, it is me against myself.I have been doing really well, training has been going well and to come here and only swim that time is quite disappointing. Aimee Willmott is all smiles after winning the Womens 200m Butterfly Wilmott, the 23-year-old from Middlesbrough who competed at the 2012 Olympics, won the Womens Open 200m butterfly with a time of 2:08.82, outside the Rio qualifying time of 02.06.51.Jazz Carlin won the womens 800m freestyle in 08:27.49 but was more than four seconds outside the Rio benchmark.The Welsh swimmer, who won 200m freestyle gold on Monday and will race again in the 400m later in the week, said: It is difficult. I want to be at my best and get on that Olympic team.It has been a bit of a tussle for a couple of weeks. I have really put a lot of pressure on myself to not miss out on the Olympics, four years ago it was heart-breaking for me.Duncan Scott shocked himself when he won British gold for the first time in the Mens Open 100m freestyle, breaking a Scottish record he had broken earlier in the qualifiers.Scott finished ahead of Englishman Ben Proud in the final in a time of 48.66, albeit outside the Olympic qualifying time of 48.16.It was a shock to me. But Im absolutely delighted, the 18-year-old University of Stirling swimmer said.Its my first full year at Stirling and its showing. Its a great facility and a great place to train. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Alex-Okafor-Jersey/ .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Rickey-Jackson-Jersey/ .

When they scored eight runs without an extra-base hit Tuesday night, manager Ron Washington was thrilled — but not at all surprised. "Whats the difference between small-ball and winning baseball?" he asked. "Aggression is always going to be our game." Adrian Beltre drove in the tiebreaking run in the eighth, Yu Darvish pitched seven solid innings, and the Rangers beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-3 for their eighth win in nine games. Elvis Andrus had three hits and scored the go-ahead run as the Rangers won their third straight and moved within one game of AL West-leading Oakland, which lost at Cincinnati. The Rangers broke open a tight game with Beltres single against Kevin Jepsen (1-3), and they poured it on with a symphony of small-ball brilliance with a four-run ninth. Texas pounded out 12 singles, stole six bases, capitalized on errors and wild pitches, and got a crafty effort from Darvish (11-5) without his best stuff. To Washington, thats Rangers baseball in its purest form. "It was quite exciting to be able to go out there and play the game we love to play," Washington said. "It was a night when it all came together, but its always been an emphasis. I call that winning baseball." Texas batted around in the ninth against Los Angeles hapless bullpen — with help from two more stolen bases. Craig Gentry scored all the way from second base when Calhoun botched a grounder at first, and Andrus singled home Leonys Martin — who had just stolen second even as the Angels pitched out — before Beltre added another RBI single. "We have to create opportunities for ourselves," Andrus said. "We have to put balance in our offence. We lost a power guy (in Cruz), but we know we can create opportunities and score runs. You dont always win games hitting homers." Darvish allowed eight hits in his least effective start since returning from the disabled list late last month, but the majors strikeouts leader still escaped a seventh-inning jam and got the win. Darvish added six more strikeouts to his total, but also walked three after allowing multiple homers in the same inning for the first time in his major league career. The Japanese right-hander had allowed just one earned run in his previous three starts combined. Tanner Scheppers pitched two scoreless innings for his first save of the season. Kole Calhoun and Mike Trout led off the first inning with back-to-back homers for the Angels, who have lost nine of 12. Los Angeles held a closed-doors team meeting after the Rangers schooled them in practically every fine aspect of the game — particularly with those season-worst six stolen bases allowed, which manager Mike Scioscia blamed on the Angels pitchers, not catcher Chris Iannetta. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Hoodie/. "This is about the inability of some of our pitchers to make some adjustments they need to make," Scioscia said. "And the reality of it is, if this is going to become an instructional league, we have to make some changes, because guys up here should be able to do a better job." Grant Green had his first two major league hits in his debut for the Angels, who have lost nine of 11 meetings with the division rival Rangers this season. Los Angeles has struggled against aggressive baserunning teams all season, but the Rangers turned it up another notch. "Weve got to do a better job of shutting down the running game as a team," Iannetta said. "Thats our focus. They picked their spots really well." Calhoun and Trout delivered two-out singles against Darvish in the seventh, but Josh Hamilton flied to centre on Darvishs 113th pitch. Hamilton went 0 for 4 against his former Texas teammates, dropping his average below .220 and making him 2 for 21 on the Angels homestand. The $125 million outfielder is batting .167 (15 for 90) with runners in scoring position in his first season with Los Angeles. Garrett Richards allowed six hits and three runs in a decent six-inning start for the Angels, striking out five. After the Rangers stole two bases and took a 2-0 lead in the first inning on Richards second wild pitch of the inning, Calhoun and Trout quickly evened it with just the second back-to-back leadoff homers in Angels franchise history. Calhouns homer was the rookies third in a week, while Trout reached base in his 37th consecutive game with his 19th homer. Green got his first major league hit in his first plate appearance for the Angels, who acquired the Anaheim native from Oakland last week in a trade for Alberto Callaspo. With Howie Kendrick sidelined at least until the weekend with a sprained left knee, Green came up from the minors and immediately started at second base. NOTES: Engel Beltre moved over to right field after David Murphy misplayed two balls at the position Monday night in the Rangers first game without Cruz. ... The Angels hit back-to-back homers for just the second time all year. Albert Pujols and Hamilton did it July 10. ... Trout is the first player to hit three career homers off Darvish. ... Green went 0 for 15 in his first major league experience with Oakland last month.
