Swimmers from Corning Manta Rays, Anderson Aquagators, Weaverville Waves, Redding AquaDucks, Scott Valley Sharks, Yreka Splash Swim- mers and South Siskiyou Swim Team attended. The Tritons brought 76 swimmers from ages 5 through 18 years-old. This was the first swim meet this season for near- ly half of them, and the first meet ever for twenty of these members. Red Bluff placed 2nd at the Invitational and had 10 swim- mers score enough points to earn themselves a top three fin- ish and a trophy. Many Tritons earned or held onto "B" time finishes. This time standard is designated to swimmers to com- pare their time with other swim- mers within age groups and to set personal goals to have a fast time. An "A" time is faster than a "B" time. Kristina Tobin set two of the Red Bluff Invitational record times. One for the 25 yard breaststroke and another for the 50 yard backstroke. Both con- tributed to her 2nd place overall trophy for the 6 & under girl age group. 1B Tuesday July 17, 2012 Tritons take 2nd at home meet Courtesy photo Corning Manta Rays swimmer Sarah Grine competes at the Red Bluff Triton Invitational.

But with the banged-up, frenetic and weary pack nearing the final rest day of the three-week race, he wasn't taking any chances Monday. A hasty, nervous start to Stage 15 in the Pyreness foothills ulti- mately gave way to a stage victory by Pierrick Fedrigo. The Frenchman led a six- man breakaway as Wiggins played it safe — almost 12 minutes behind in the pack. The 99-mile route from Samatan to Pau was a most- ly flat layout that might favor a sprint finish, but teams with strong sprinters didn't lay chase. breakaway group with about four miles left, with Christ- ian Vande Velde of the U.S. the only rider able to keep pace. The American, not a sprint expert, lost the two- man dash. Fedrigo bolted from the PAU, France (AP) — Italy is third, 2:23 behind, while defending champion Cadel Evans remains fourth, 3:19 back. ''There are some gaps, but it's never finished. We are in a good position, that's for sure,'' pointing to Satur- day's time trial, one of his specialties. He won the first one over 26 miles in Stage 9. The upcoming time trial in Stage 19 is 33 miles. ''We've already seen it. fifth in 50 breaststroke, fourth in 100 breaststroke and 14th in 50 freestyle.

''I thought the attacks at the start wouldn't last so long. It went on for almost two hours, but the terrain took its toll,'' Wiggins said, referring to the deceptively hilly route. ''There are a lot of tired bodies out there.'' From the outset, Wiggins It's not easy,'' he said. ''The last time trial at the Tour is not the same as the one in the first week.'' Wiggins has not thought much about the punishing days that await in the Pyre- nees on Wednesday and Thursday. The ride on Thursday features six climbs, including an uphill finish. ''I just always look one day at a time,'' he said. ''I always think if you start looking too far ahead you forget what's in front of you.'' was cautious. He noticed a ''little problem'' with his bike, got off and chucked it onto the roadside as his Team Sky staff quickly fetched another. ''I changed it right away because I preferred doing that than taking a risk if the race went all out after that,'' Wiggins said. Overall, Wiggins leads second-place teammate Christopher Froome by 2:05. Vincenzo Nibali of Fedrigo, of the FDJ-Big- Mat team, won a Tour stage for the fourth time in his career and gave France its fourth stage win this year. He said the victory was especially satisfying because he had been side- lined for six months last year after suffering from Lyme disease. Vande Velde had little hope of winning the sprint. Garmin-Sharp team manager Jonathan Vaugh- ters, who once had Wiggins on his team, said he's been predicting a victory by the Briton for months — in part because this year's layout suits his strengths. ''Brad's biggest rival in this race is Brad, in his own head, and as long as he stays calm and focused then he's going to win it'' he said. ''I've always felt that this Tour was going to be a run- away for Wiggins.''

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer ''I knew my chances were not good at all with Fedrigo. He is really quick guy and has got a much bet- ter sprint,'' said Vande Velde, who wore the Giro d'Italia leader's pink jersey for a day in 2008 and was part of the Garmin-Cervelo squad that won the Tour team trial last year. ''I've never had a sprint (victory) ever,'' said Vande Velde, who is 36. ''I've always been a slow-twitch guy. But I'm still happy with my ride. I wish there was a hill to finish it up on, but that's the way it goes.'' Wiggins finished 11 min- utes, 50 seconds behind Fedrigo in the main pack. The 32-year-old Team Sky leader is looking to become Britain's first winner of cycling's showcase race. Wiggins said he and other riders were looking forward to Tuesday's rest day. now, mentally more than physically,'' he told French TV. ''A lot of people are tired Ray Rice and Matt Forte got what they wanted Monday: long-term contracts that sometimes elude NFL running backs. Neither Rice nor Forte was enamored of playing under the franchise tag tender in 2012, and negotiations went down to the wire. Then Rice scored big with the Baltimore Ravens, getting $40 million for five years, while Forte took a four- year, $32 million deal with the Chicago Bears. Also getting a longer contract just before the deadline was Jacksonville placekicker Josh Scobee, who will stay with the Jaguars for four years and $13.8 million. Rice led the NFL with 2,068 yards from scrimmage in making his second Pro Bowl. He helped the Ravens to their second AFC title game in his four pro seasons. ''Ray has been an integral part of us earning the playoffs in each of his four seasons,'' Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. ''His production on the field speaks for itself, and his leadership in the locker room is outstanding.'' Although his numbers aren't quite at Rice's level, Forte is just as significant a contributor in Chicago's offense. Had he stayed healthy in 2011, he might have matched Rice, too. Forte made the Pro Bowl for the first time, finishing with 1,487 yards from scrimmage, 997 rushing. He missed the final four games after spraining his right knee in a loss to Kansas City. The Bears lost all but one of those games, falling out of playoff contention. Each of them would have played for the $7.74 million franchise tag — the average of the five highest-paid players at running back — had they not gotten the new contracts. ''I'm proud to be a Chicago Bear and excited to be here for another four years,'' Forte said in a statement released by the Bears.
