I ran over a pothole in training and hurt my left foot. My coach and I feel that it is too much of a risk at this stage to try racing and do any more damage to it.I feel like that it is best to pull out of Oregon and focus on recovering for Rio.It is tough luck on English who has produced a fine run of results on the pre-season European circuit following his three-break winter training trip in South Africa.He set an Irish record (1 minute 1.93 seconds in the 500m in Stockholm), was second behind Polands European outdoor champion Adam Kszczot in the 800m at the Glasgow Indoor Grand Prix and picked up a fourth 800m Irish indoor title. English has already secured the Olympic qualifying time for the 800m and will now rest for the start of the outdoor season with Rio less than five months away.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS...MARCH 19: Sam Oldham, English Championships, LoughboroughMar 28 - April 3: Jessica Judd, pre-season training in USAApril 9/10: Sam Oldham, British Championships, Liverpool Also See: English bows out in style About the Scholarship Meet the athletes Blogs Videos Galleries Ronnie Lott Jersey . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.

Greg Chappell will join Australias national selection panel and Trevor Hohns will serve as chairman, after the departure of Rod Marsh from the role on Wednesday. Both appointments have been made on an interim basis only, following an extraordinary meeting of the Cricket Australia board on Wednesday night.Hohns has served on the national selection panel since 2014 in his current tenure, but previously sat on the panel from 1993 to 2006, including 10 years as chairman. Initially, he had continued in his role as Queenslands state talent manager while also serving on the national panel, but will now relinquish that job to focus full-time on selection duties.Chappell has had two previous stints as a national selector, first from 1984 to 1988, shortly after his retirement as a player, and again from 2010 to 2011, before he took up the role of Cricket Australias national talent manager. Chappell will step aside from that position while he serves as an interim nattional selector. Solomon Thomas Jersey. It is vital that Australian cricket finds the best candidate for this role, Cricket Australias chairman David Peever said.

His in-depth knowledge of up-and-coming talent in the Australian system will be invaluable.The board will now begin a search for permanent national selectors, with no deadline having been set. Marshs tenure was originally to have ended in June next year. ' ' '
