EUGENE, Ore. -- Possible new slogan for the U.S. Olympic track team: Higher, Faster, Younger.There could be a youth movement underway on the track over the next two weeks.A group of up-and-comers are angling for spots on Americas Olympic track team, hoping to duplicate the success a new crop of swimmers is making at that sports trials in Omaha, Nebraska.The year of the youth, said 17-year-old sprinter Candace Hill, a dark horse possibility to make the U.S. squad for the Rio Olympics in the 100 meters, 200 meters or perhaps even both. I feel like, since older people are leaving the sport, theyre passing the torch to the younger folks. We have to step up our game and show were ready to take over in a way.Hill is already the worlds fastest girl ever, courtesy of a number of youth records she set last season, including in the 200, which she ran in 22.43 seconds.A year ago, she ran 10.98 seconds in the 100 -- the first time a female under 18 had gone below 11 seconds. That kind of time wouldve earned her a share of the silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and placed her seventh at the 2012 London Games.Someday, she could be going for the label of fastest female in history. That honor belongs to the late Florence Griffith-Joyner, who holds both the 100 (10.49) and 200 (21.34) world marks.Hill could be pushed by another teenager, Kaylin Whitney.My goal is to be one of the greatest female sprinters ever, said Hill, who turned pro last December and signed a 10-year deal with ASICS.Hills role model is Allyson Felix, the six-time Olympic medalist who Hill used to watch as a kid.I feel very old, lamented the 30-year-old Felix, who will try to make the team in the 200 and 400. But its a neat thing, because I remember when I was in that exact same place.Upon arriving at the airport, Hill became star struck after running into sprinter Tori Bowie, along with 400-meter runners Natasha Hastings and Francena McCorory.Im like, `Thats actually them, Hill said. You see them on TV and in videos, but then theyre right there.Last week, Hill won the 100 at the USA junior championships. Shes not the least bit tired, either.The benefits of being so youthful.The drawbacks are simple: Experience. Age does have some benefits.I just want to get out there and see what I can do, Hill said. Its time for the youth to rise and take over the sport of track and field.Here are some rising track and field athletes to keep an eye on at the trials:FOLLOWING JIM RYUNS FOOTSTEPS: Donavan Brazier of Texas A&M recently broke a record of Jim Ryuns that stood for five decades. The 19-year-old Brazier won the 800-meter title at NCAA championships in a time of 1 minute, 43.55 seconds, a new collegiate and American junior record. Brazier recently announced he was going pro after a sensational freshman year with the Aggies.FOLLOWING JESSE OWENS LEAD: Hows this for some elite company: Arkansas senior Jarrion Lawson became the first man since Jesse Owens in 1936 to win the 100, 200 and long jump at the same NCAA championships. He was nominated for an ESPY award in the best male athlete category and is up against the likes of Alabama tailback Derrick Henry and Oklahoma hoops star Buddy Hield.RECORD BREAKER: Teenager Sydney McLaughlin heads into trials fresh off winning the 400-meter hurdles title at the USA Track and Field junior championships last weekend. The week before, the 16-year-old from Dunellen, New Jersey, broke national high school records at New Balance Nationals. McLaughlin eclipsed the prep record set by Leslie Maxie in 1984 with her time of 54.46 seconds.TRIPLE SCOOP: 20-year-old triple jumper Keturah Orji recently captured her second straight NCAA title for the University of Georgia. Orji, of Mount Olive, New Jersey, broke the collegiate mark this season. As it stands right now, shes one of only two triple jumpers at trials to have the Olympic qualifying standard.BRIGHT FUTURE: Shamier Little definitely stands out in the 400-meter hurdles by wearing a neon bow in her hair. Its a way for her mom to easily find her. Heres another way to spot her: Shes usually the one that crosses the finish line first. The 21-year-old Texas A&M junior recently won her third NCAA title.Cyber Monday Shoes . By having more great seasons.

When you have some separation, sometimes its easier to let down. Its something that really good teams figure out a way to overcome. I dont think were there, but we did find a way tonight.Rudy Gobert scored a career-high 22 points and had 11 rebounds and blocked four shots for the Jazz, who recovered after the Suns erased a 23-point lead to tie it at 103.Ive been working hard since I got here, Gobert said. I always want to improve, thats the main thing for me. Thats what Im going to keep doing.Hayward had 11 third-quarter points to reach 20-plus points for the ninth consecutive game -- the first Jazz player to do so since Carlos Boozer in 2007-08.The Jazz sprinted out to a 25-10 lead thanks to an 8-0 run and never trailed. They led 65-45 at halftime after Haywards pull-up 3-pointer highlighted a half-closing 11-2 stretch. The 65 points matched a Jazz season high for a half.Devin Booker scored 21 points for the Suns, who couldnt complete the comeback.That (second) unit came in and played selfless, Suns coach Earl Watson said. They gave up all their energy on defense and offensively they moved the ball, created the tempo and played amazing perimeter defense.TIP-INSSuns: Phoenix turned over the ball 13 times in the first half and Utah converted them into 19 points. ... The Suns made six 3-pointers after hitting 10 in the previous three games.Jazz: George Hill missed his fourth consecutive game with a sprained left big toe. ... Hill and Haywardd have played just five games together and the Jazz are 5-0 in those games.dddddddddddd... Rodney Hood did not return after halftime with a sore right hamstring.BACK ON THE BENCHSnyder was the latest member of the Jazz to be forced from a game due to a physical ailment. He missed Mondays game against the Lakers due to an illness, but returned Tuesday. Snyder said its the first time hes ever missed a game as an assistant or head coach in 20 years.It was strange, Snyder said. I had a small fever and then about midway through the fourth quarter, my fever jumped to over 103. So it was good I wasnt out there. It would have been unfair to the players and the staff.HEY HEY, HAYWARDHayward is averaging career highs in points and rebounds and is playing at an All-Star level. Watson played three seasons in Utah, Haywards first three seasons.He reminded me of a young Jerry West, Watson said. Gordon has it, man. ... I knew it, I could see it immediately. There was something special about him. The unique part about him is he can impact the game beyond scoring.I remember Gordon just had this unique way about him. It was his rookie year. We played the Lakers. ... Gordon Hayward ran a pick-and-roll going to his left, Kobe was chasing him. Gordon jumped, lost the ball in the air, jumped off the right leg, got the ball and dunked it. I was like, `Oh (shoot) this kid is special.QUOTABLEWe got to understand that the game is not over until it is finished and we believe that, Suns guard Leandro Barbosa said.UP NEXTSuns: Phoenix hosts a Pacers team it beat by 20 in Indiana in their last meeting on Nov. 18.Jazz: Utah hosts Golden State on Thursday in their first meeting since Kevin Durant joined the Warriors during the offseason.
