THE MORNING BREW
22-season track and field record broken
A lot can happen in 21 years. Back in 1993, the Dallas Cowboys won the Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills. The Colorado Rockies played in their first season. The Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup against the Los Angeles Kings. Tennis star Monica Seles was stabbed. All of these things seem as if they happened a long time ago, because many undergraduate students weren't even born. 21 years ago marked the start of something special, the longest streak of consecutive regular-season wins in high school track and field.
Kearney High School, located in Kearney, Neb., is nationally recognized for its streak. Over 22 seasons, the Bearcats won 123 regular-season meets in a row. Not included in its streak are postseason wins. During that time, Kearney has won 21 consecutive district
titles and 11 consecutive state championships. As an athlete, having Kearney on your schedule always resulted in a whirlwind of emotions. Yes, there's a lot of competition, but winning against them is impossible.
Winning against them was impossible. The streak that felt as if it would last forever came to a halt on April 5, when Millard West High School beat Kearney at the Columbus Invitational. The last team to beat Kearney in the
regular season was Lincoln Southeast High School, in the first meet of the 1993 season.
"Kearney is a class team, very well-coached and traditionally sound in field events. And nothing is sweeter than
"Winning every meet for 22 years seems like a long time, at least people tell me that," Kearney coach Roger Mathiesen said to the Kearney Hub. For the Wildcats of Millard West, nothing felt better.
victory', said Millard West coach Max Kurz.
One former Bearcat holds Nebraska track and field state records. Colby Wissel broke the 1,600-meter run record back in 2004, registering a 4:10.44. Wissel has the three fastest times run in that event in Nebraska history as
well. Wissel also has the 3,200-meter run record in his name, running 8:55.55, also in 2004.
Even though the streak is over, Kearney still holds a strong grip on the high school track and field community
throughout Nebraska and the nation. Its consecutive winning streak may be finished, but it's going to take years and years to take the Bearcats record away from them.

Wilson's pitching leads Angels past Astros
HOUSTON — C.J. Wilson pitched eight solid innings, Howie Kendrick and Raul Ibanez each drove in three runs and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Houston Astros 9-1 Monday.
Wilson (1-1) yielded four
The Angels took three of four from Houston after starting the season 0-3.
Kendrick drove in two with a single in a three-run first inning. He added an RBI with a single when the Angels tacked on three more in the seventh.
Kole Calhoun homered off Jarred Cosart (1-1), sending a drive to right field for his second shot of the series to push the lead to 4-0 in the fifth inning.
hits and a run while fanning seven. He looked a lot more like the 17-game winner he was last year than he did in his first start this season when he allowed eight hits and six runs in 5 2-3 innings of a loss to Seattle.
Houston struggled to get anything going off of him. Jesus Guzman doubled with one out in the second before Wilson retired nine in a row. A double by Chris Carter came with one out in the fifth inning, and Wilson sat down 10 straight after that. The Astros finally got on the board when Carlos Corporan launched a 76 mph curveball into the Crawford Boxes in left field for a home run that made it 8-1.
Cosart was done in by a bad first inning where he had to
use 32 pitches. He was pulled after allowing three hits, five runs and walking four in six innings.
It was a disappointing second start for the 23-year-old who threw five scoreless frames for the win in his 2014 debut against the Yankees.
A pair of walks and a fielder's choice loaded the bases with one out in the first inning for
Cosart. A broken-bat groundout by Ibanez sent one home to make it 1-0. Carter had to navigate around the flying piece of bat that stuck in the dirt right near where he fielded the ball.
Ibanez drove home two with a single to right field off reliever Brad Peacock in the seventh.
