David Weir made history on Sunday when he broke three minutes in a wheelchair race in the Westminster Mile in London.The Briton clocked two minutes and 57 seconds - beating his previous world best by six seconds - to secure his latest achievement after six victories at the London Marathon.Ive always said I could do it, said Weir, who finished ahead of South African rival Ernst van Dyk and also won four gold medals at London 2012.I knew it was possible and training has gone really well. I knew I had to get off to a quick start and that Ernst would chase hard. I knew from last year that my start let me down.I was more relaxed down Birdcage Walk, but I was still pushing at 22mph and thats not bad.I wanted to prove a point that I was still up there with the best in the world.Victory secured Weirs fourth consecutive Westminster Mile title, and comes after he finished third in last months London Marathon.Roger Bannister, who in 1954 was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes, sent Weir all my congratulations for his huge achievement.Nick Goolab won the British Athletics mens road mile title, while Sarah McDonald won the womens senior title.Britains athletes will head to Italy next month for the IPC Athletics European Championships in Grosseto (June 10-16).Also See:2016 IPC European Athletics ChampionshipsWestminster Mile websiteBerlin glory for WeirChipper Jones Jersey Braves .C. -- Todd Fiddler scored a hat trick, including the overtime goal, as the Prince George Cougars survived an 8-7 win against the Kamloops Blazers in Western Hockey League play Sunday.

On Saturday, they face Deshaun Watson and third-ranked Clemson for the third time.You watch the consistency he plays with, he throws the deep ball, the short ball, can run, Fisher said of Watson. Hes a great competitor and always finds ways to make the plays.This will be the third time that Watson has faced the Seminoles. Two years ago he came off the bench and completed 19 of 28 for 266 yards along with a rushing touchdown. Last season he had 404 yards of total offense (297 passing, 107 rushing) as the Tigers beat FSU for the first time in four years.Compared to other Atlantic Division teams, the Seminoles (5-2, 2-2 ACC) have had better success against the Tigers (7-0, 4-0) and Watson. FSU is the only division foe to defeat Watson and the two touchdowns theyve given up to him is the least an Atlantic Division team has allowed against Watson.Florida States defense comes into the game a confident bunch. They held Miami and Wake Forest under 300 yards for the units best performances of the season. Though both of those teams featured conventional pocket quarterbacks.Watson brings back memories of the Seminoles nightmarish start.In FSUs first five games, it allowed an average of 35.4 points and 438.4 yards against mostly dual-threat quarterbacks. It allowed Jackson to compile 362 yards of total offense and five touchdowns in the 63-20 loss to the Cardinals on Sept. 17.Watson is also going into the game beaming with confidence. In three October games, he has completed 68.5 percent of his passes and is averaging 318 passing yards.But Watson said the Louisville game wasnt a good indicator of what he expects from Florida States defense.Each game is a different type of scheme and a different way they want to play, Watson said. Those guys are building their chemistry each and every week, again they trust in each other and theyre trying to get better and help their team win.dddddddddddd.Tigers co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott is another who has noticed a difference from the Louisville game to now.I think they were doing a lot of things on defense early in the season, but you notice the last four games it looks like theyve kind of simplified and allowed their athletes to go out and play, he said.One major reason for Florida States improvement has been better communication among players, but they have continued to struggle when teams go no huddle.Cornerback Tarvarus McFadden, who is tied for the national lead in interceptions with five, said the unit has done a better job of not missing assignments. However, that will be put to the test against Clemson.McFadden also said they need to get pressure on Watson. The Seminoles had a season-high five sacks in the Oct. 15 win over Wake, but has only had three in the previous two meetings against Watson.That sets up a critical matchup between Florida State defensive end DeMarcus Walker, who has 8.5 sacks, and Clemson left tackle Mitch Hyatt.Walker said that the Tigers offensive line does a good job with blocking schemes and that Hyatt should be a tough matchup because he has strong hands and good feet.If Walker and his teammates can force Watson into mistakes, the odds shift in their favor. The only problem is, Watson doesnt make many.Watson has committed only one turnover against Florida State but the Seminoles have done a good job this season of forcing turnovers. They have forced one in eight straight games dating back to last season and already have nine interceptions after having eight all of last year.Something will have to give on Saturday night.---AP Sportswriter Pete Iacobelli contributed to this report from Clemson, South Carolina.---Online:AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
