EUGENE, Ore. -- Those two high schoolers really can fly. So can that relative newcomer to the 200 meters, LaShawn Merritt.Be ready, Justin Gatlin, theyll be chasing you.A pair of 18-year-olds, Michael Norman and Noah Lyles, turned heads Friday after blistering performances in the semifinals at the U.S. Track and Field Trials. Norman won his heat over Gatlin. Lyles wasnt really challenged in his heat.Moments later, Merritt stole the show; the runner known more for the 400 turned in a 200 time of 19.74 seconds, the fastest mark in the world this season.These kids, man, theyre good, the 34-year-old Gatlin said. Theyre good at what they do. Theyre strong. Theyre brave man.Got to compete against them like theyre real competitors.Oh, theyre real all right. Maybe a little in awe and perhaps still a little green, but definitely real.After crossing the line in 20.21 seconds, Norman reached over and shook Gatlins hand. He leaned in and said, Do you remember me?Gatlin sure did. They once hung out at a Nike Elite camp. Norman thought about bringing up their encounter before the race, but didnt want to interrupt the sprinter who figures to be the biggest threat to Usain Bolt at the Rio de Janeiro Games.Probably a wise move. Gatlin was all business.Theyre coming out to be giant killers, he said.And Gatlin would be the giant in the final Saturday. Or perhaps its Merritt, given the time he ran.Came off the curve with everybody, felt good so I made a move, said Merritt, whos dabbling in the 200 after already earning a spot by winning the 400. The key was to win the race. Thats what I did.Norman is from Murrieta, California, and plans to go to Southern California this fall. Lyles hails from Alexandria, Virginia, and will attend Florida.They have a friendly rivalry on the junior circuit, with Norman beating out Lyles for the Gatorade Athlete of the Year award. But it was Lyles who beat Norman in the only 200 race in which theyve squared off -- at USATF Junior National Championships in 2015.Were pretty close. We talk to each other all the time, Norman said.Feed off each other, too.Watch them in the call room, they look at each other, and you can tell theyre like, `We got this, Gatlin said. Im going to rise to the occasion when its time.Anything one does, the other tries to do better.Saw him going and I thought, `Oh, dang, he ran outside Gatlin. He just passed Gatlin, Lyles said. I was like, `Oh, I got to get out there.I dont mean to brag, but were pretty extraordinary. We come out here and try to do our best, then try to show up for the crowd.Dont be surprised if they earn a spot on the 200. They are that talented.Trying to go to the Olympics -- its been a goal for four years and were trying to make it happen, Lyles said.Of course, Gatlin will have something to say about it. Hes already qualified in the 100, but hopes to earn a place in the 200, too. Merritt will be in the mix as well. He had the fastest 200 time coming in and has only gotten stronger despite running three rounds of the 400 earlier at trials.Just have to stay humble, stay grounded, get some rest and come out tomorrow and do it all over again, Merritt said.Merritt could be in line to try to become the first man to win a 200-400 Olympic double since Michael Johnson in 1996. But thats a decision for down the road.Im just trying to take it a race at a time, Merritt said.Flying under the radar are Ameer Webb and veteran Tyson Gay, who didnt make the team in the 100.Thats two rounds down, one more to go, Lyles said. Were just trying to make something cool happen.Cheap NFL Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla.

Lewis is an exceptional driver, we all know that. Rosberg had to work hard to be close to him.Rosberg leads Hamilton by 12 points heading into Sundays title decider, with both winning nine races this year.The German driver is odds on to seal his first world championship, needing only to finish the race third if Hamilton wins.Depending on how they start, it can be an easy race for Nico, Prost said. Maybe Ferrari or the Red Bull is much closer to the Mercedes and we have a fight with three, four cars. That would be a little bit different in terms of pressure.Prost cautioned Rosberg against racing too conservatively, as it could leave him open to getting caught in the middle of other drivers.The pressure is on his shoulders, not Hamiltons. For Nico, it is difficult to push at the maximum, its better to be second and not risk too much, Prost said. Thats normal, you cannot reproach him that. The problem is that if you start to have (Sebastian) Vettel, (Max) Verstappen, (Kimi) Raikkonen, and (Daniel) Ricciardo beside you. The pressure is difficult.Should Hamilton upset the odds, the British driver will join Prost as a four-time F1 champion.Hes right at the top ... I would never say `This driver is No. 1. But hes one of the best, the 61-year-old Frenchman said in the Yas Marina paddock area. Hes an exceptional driver, so I would prefer to have him (getting four titles) because he deserves what he gets.Hamilton has won 52 races, one more than Prost in an outstanding career with McLaren, Renault, Ferrari and Williams.ddddddddddddProst won his championships in 1985, `86, `89 and `93, and during his heyday was involved in red-hot tussles with Ayrton Senna.The tension ebbed and flowed before reaching breaking point when they were rivals on the same McLaren team during the `89 campaign.The flamboyant, charismatic, and thrilling Senna was much loved and a huge fans favorite with worldwide appeal, whereas the more stoic Prost was nicknamed The Professor for his meticulous, almost surgically precise approach to driving.He was seen as the antithesis to Senna and sees this juxtaposition somewhat reflected in the Hamilton-Rosberg rivalry.The media, the public, all think he (Rosberg) is very below Lewis Hamilton. Psychologically, its very difficult to manage that, especially when you fight against Lewis, Prost said.In a way, I was in the situation in `89 when (everyone) was really behind Ayrton. Its very difficult to manage that psychologically. I have sympathy with Nico, because hes considered like this and I can understand how he can feel.While he considers Rosberg still to be a little bit behind Hamilton in terms of their driving ability, he thinks Rosberg does not get enough credit. A title win, Prost says, would have a liberating effect and might enable Rosberg to go up a gear next year.If Rosberg wins then maybe next year we have a different situation, he said. (Could) he be better if he had the support of everybody? We dont know. Thats why, in a way I would like to see him champion because then we can see.[url=http://www.authenticwholesalejerseys.net/]Cheap Jerseys[body? We dont know. Thats why, in a way I would
