Mark Reynolds Tries On a New Hat for USA SailingWhen it comes to sailing, if you can imagine it, Mark Reynolds has probably done it. The journey that started at the San Diego Yacht Club when he was just eight took him all the way to the Olympics, where he followed up a silver medal in 1988 with a pair of golds in 1992 and 2000. Along the way, he turned his passion into a career in sailmaking, eventually becoming the owner of the Quantum Sails loft in Point Loma. "It's allowed me to do all the sailing I wanted to do and do t... More>>
Around the World with Keith Lorence in "The Weekend Sailor"The inaugural Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race (now known as the Volvo Ocean Race), held in 1973, featured premier captains and crews from across the globe. It also featured a boat named Sayula II, owned and captained by amateur sailor Ramon Carlin of Mexico. Carlin assembled a team with members from seven countries, including Keith Lorence of San Diego. "I was the sailmaker, and a watch captain, and the general sailing master," says Lorence. "Things needed to get... More>>

Junior Adaptive Sports CampDanny Smuts grew up playing sports. Baseball, soccer, swimming -- anything athletic was fair game. But on July 17, 2015, in the middle of a soccer game, Danny suffered a spinal stroke that sent him into a six-week stay at Rady Children's Hospital. "It seemed like the first few months was all about, 'How are we going to survive?'" says his father, Dan Smuts. Danny started an arduous rehab process, and his entire family suddenly confronted a pile of unexpected challenges --...
Park View LL Preps for Subdivision Tournament73 to 6. That was the combined score of the Park View All-Stars' first three games of 2016. So it's a safe bet that their fourth game, a 3-1 loss to Chula Vista American, wasn't exactly part of their plan. Fortunately for Park View, they got a chance at a rematch -- and they turned their second chance into an 11-4 win that earned them the District 42 championship.
One prize is in the bag; now the bigger picture comes into focus.

James SaRugby is known for it's hard hits. Wheelchair rugby is no different. Challenged Athlete James Sa was introduced to the sport shortly after he became paralyzed from an accident participating in a Tough Mudder. "When I was in the hospital and doing rehab my therapist showed me this movie "Murderball". This is a documentary that came out in 2005 about quadriplegics who play wheelchair rugby. The movie was as outrageous as that last sentence sounded

Chasing Aces Sets Del Mar Track RecordPeter Miller thought that his horse would do well. He thought he had a good chance to win. But when the starting gate swung open for the eighth race on Sunday's Del Mar schedule, he never imagined that Chasing Aces, his two-year-old chestnut colt trainee, would cross the finish line as the new owner of a track record. In just the second race of his career, Chasing Aces outpaced the competition by five-and-a-half lengths with a time of 56.21 seconds -- setting a new standard for five... More>>

Groups like Warfighter Made help veterans find happiness after servicWalking down a stretch of the Del Mar Arena, the sight of a machine gun turret on a buggy makes one turn their head a second time. "This is a vintage light strike vehicle," Mike Shatynski said. "Two years ago, this was a hunk of rusted metal." Now its largest battles come in the dirt and grime of race tracks across North America. It also has a new purpose - uniting military veterans through off track racing. Race 4 Vets puts people in cars, and Warfighter Made h...
Is San Diego a Sad Sports CityWith the Cleveland Cavaliers' triumph over the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals, the Mistake by the Lake officially relinquished its throne as the city with the longest championship drought. Next on the list is San Diego, which hasn't thrown a parade for a team in the traditional big four sports since the 1963 Chargers won the AFL title. They didn't win the Super Bowl that year, due to the fact that Super Bowl I wouldn't be played for three more seasons. The Padres...

Oregon's satellite camp brings Helfrich to a new fertile crescentTodd Doxey was the first of this modern era to take the trip from America's Finest City to the Northwest. A special trio followed his path, and a Silver Pigskin winner came rolling after. Two members of the class of 2017 have plotted their land in Eugene in 2016. And all throughout that time, one man has watched it all happen...an oddity considering his lackluster attendance on these shores. "Not enough would be my answer for how often I'm in San Diego," Oregon coach Mar...
The Oregon Ducks have come to the conclusion many other schools have found over the past decades, and they're getting better at executing it than their NCAA counterparts. San Diego is a recruiter's paradise, and the major chips are falling their way. Madison linebacker Sampson Niu is joining Mater Dei's C.J.Verdell as the second player of the 2017 class to verbally commit to the campus in Eugene.
