Tyreek Hill runs 100 meters in 10.15 seconds at California track meet
That's an incredibly fast race considering that Hill is 31 years old and hadn't run track competitively since college, and shows that if Hill had wanted to focus on track instead of football, he has the talent to be an elite sprinter. DK Metcalf, who competed in a 100-meter race in 2021, was widely praised for his time of 10.37 seconds. Hill bested Metcalf's time easily.
Hill's race was part of the Last Chance Sprint Series, and the competition Hill beat was solid: Isaac Bostio, who was last year's NCAA Division II national champion in the 100 meters, finished second among all the 100-meter runners at the meet, behind Hill at 10.18 seconds. In Hill's own heat, the second-place finisher was former Michigan sprinter Asani Hampton in 10.26 seconds.
Hill has been talking up a race with Noah Lyles, and after winning the race on Friday, Hill held up a sign saying, 'Noah could never.' The reality is Lyles could beat Hill easily in a 100-meter sprint, but Hill still did something incredibly impressive on the track on Friday.

Steelers FS Juan Thornhill fires back at Minkah Fitzpatrick critics during training camp
Steelers training camp is finally here — but sadly without fan-favorite safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who was traded to the Dolphins almost one month ago. Several analysts pointed to a lack of splash plays and a potential decline as the reason for the move — but one defender isn't a fan of that narrative. FS Juan Thornhill, Fitzpatrick's predicted replacement, defended the former Steelers safety at Wednesday's training camp — pointing to similar issues he's dealt with when offenses don't throw in your direction. "Minkah is a great player," Thornhill told reporters on Wednesday. "If you have a great guy back there that can make a lot of plays on the ball, in that deep third, teams aren't going to really try you back there. So that's why a guy like Minkah — they say struggled a bit — he didn't struggle. You just can't get interceptions if the ball is not coming your way." Despite Fitzpatrick snagging just one interception in two seasons, his presence in stopping the deep ball was second to none — a role Thornhill is more than willing to earn as training camp treads on.

Dolphins' Tua Tagovailoa on Trusting Tyreek Hill: 'It's a Work in Progress'
Tyreek Hill's work to regain the trust of his Miami Dolphins teammates remains ongoing after the All-Pro wide receiver took himself out of the 2024 regular-season finale and indicated he wanted to play elsewhere. After the Dolphins wrapped up the first day of training camp, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said moving on from Hill's comments hasn't been a quick process. "I would say we're still continuing to do that," Tagovailoa said of rebuilding his relationship with Hill. "But it's not just with me, it's with a lot of the guys. I'm not the only one that heard that. You guys aren't the only people that heard that. A lot of people that follow football, that follow the Miami Dolphins ... everyone has seen that." After a loss to the New York Jets that marked the first time in his career that he had not made the playoffs, Hill told reporters afterward that he was "opening the door" to play for another team. Hill has since walked back those comments and publicly apologized to Tagovailoa and his teammates for the outburst, which he has said was a result of frustrations with a disappointing season. "When you say something like that, you don't just come back from that with a 'Hey, my bad,'" Tagovailoa said Wednesday. "No, you've got to work that relationship up. You've got to build everything up again. It's still a work in progress, not just for me, but for everybody." Hill said Tuesday that the situation caused him to take an inward look and hold himself accountable, adding that he's matured this offseason and plans to be a better leader moving forward. "You can see thus far, the three months that the team has been working at it, that it's a surprise to no one in the building that he's saying that publicly," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said. "He's come to work every day with vigor and determination. First and foremost, the only way you can dictate the terms in life is you have to take a realistic evaluation of what's going on. ... Humble, accountable, deliberate, intentional daily focus — that's what we're looking for, and I'm excited for him to get another opportunity to stack another day today." Dolphins made sure Fitzpatrick wanted return to Miami before trade All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick began his second stint with the Dolphins on Wednesday after being dealt to Miami from Pittsburgh in a trade that sent cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers. Fitzpatrick was drafted 11th overall by the Dolphins in 2018 but only played for them one full season before requesting a trade in 2019. At the time, he wasn't happy with his role under then-head coach Brian Flores. McDaniel indicated Wednesday that the Dolphins made sure Fitzpatrick was OK with returning to Miami before the move was made. Fitzpatrick participated in Wednesday's practice but has not spoken to reporters since the June 30 trade. "As you enter into negotiations of any sort of trade, you try to identify first and foremost that the player you're receiving wants to play football for you," McDaniel said. "I'm elated to add Minkah to the team because it's an opportunity to have a player that I've been coaching off of and plays the position the way that we here want to play the position. … It's a real good fit based on his skillset." Two players injured on first day of camp Second-year offensive lineman Bayron Matos suffered an undisclosed injury in the final minutes of practice and was flown via helicopter to a hospital. He was in stable condition, the team said. The Dolphins did not release information on the injury. Veteran cornerback Artie Burns, who signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in March, suffered an apparent leg injury after appearing to make contact with another player early in practice. Burns left on crutches. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Quiz: How well do you know your older athletes? The week of the veteran comebacks
The saying goes that age is just a number. In professional sports, that number usually matters quite a bit. Boxing, tennis, baseball and other elite sports have long been dominated by athletes who hit their physical primes in their 20s and 30s, but the return of three mid-40s stars this week has us appreciating the diligence it takes to remain competitive against much younger foes. Advertisement The week of the returning veterans began with Manny Pacquiao coming back from a four-year hiatus to battle Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight world title. Pacquiao impressed in his return but came up just short as the bout ended in a majority draw. Then, on Tuesday, Rich Hill made MLB history by suiting up for a record-tying 14th team. His first start of the season extended his career to a remarkable 21 seasons. While he picked up a loss, he hung in there against the Chicago Cubs' league-leading offense, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits, with two walks and one strikeout across five innings. Hours later, tennis legend Venus Williams played her first singles match since March 2024 and recorded her first win since 2023 as she topped Peyton Stearns. With the win, Williams became the second-oldest woman to win a singles match on the WTA Tour, only younger than Martina Navratilova in 2004. If you noticed, we didn't include the ages of Pacquiao, Hill or Williams in the paragraphs above. That's because we have a test about them and some other stars. Don't expect this to be easy — just like in real life, discerning sports ages can be very difficult.
