The 20-year-old Bath star picked up three victories at the Edinburgh International Swim and looks in stunning form ahead of the Olympic trials in April.OConnor secured the top FINA points prize with a winning time of 2 minutes 10.12 seconds in Saturdays 200m individual medley final to take her above world champion Katinka Hosszu at the top of the rankings. She finished four seconds clear of the field, but had more of a fight in Sundays 100m fly final to win by a fingertip ahead of Rachel Kelly and Bath team-mate Jemma Lowe.OConnor, who capped off a magnificent show by making it a hat-trick with victory in the 200m breaststroke, said: Im really happy with my first outing of the season.This was the first real long course competition of the year and I was happy to swim some encouraging times during a hard training block, having just come back from Australia.I dont often swim the 200 breaststroke so it was nice to finish the meet with a win and a personal best. Im now really looking forward to tapering ahead of the trials and travelling there with the team.It was also a very rewarding two days of action for BMX star Quillan Isidore, 800m runner Jessica Judd and speed skater Elise Christie.After a four-month winter break, the 19-year-old Isidore from south London started his season with the first two rounds at Manchesters National Cycling Centre. Quillan Isidore happy with his season opener in Manchester On Saturday evening, Isidore struggled after a poor start in the Supercross Open, but hit back on Sunday in the Superclass to go unbeaten over 10 tough laps in his two races. Isidore said: Overall it was a very positive weekend for me. To bounce back after a bad practice and first two motos on Saturday to a few really solid laps for me, Ill take that.The results may have not been the best, but Im very happy with my performance. Sunday was a tough one - racing both classes, having a total of 10 laps, but its a great platform for me.Judd has been building up for the outdoor season with a series of cross country races and ahead of a training trip to the US, she secured an excellent fifth spot at the Inter-Counties Cross Country Championships.After her gruelling efforts at Cofton Park in Birmingham, Judd said: Im over the moon at the championships.

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen doesnt expect to be bothered by one of the biggest, loudest crowds in college football when the Bruins open their season at Texas A&M on Saturday.Kyle Field can hold 102,733, the fourth-largest capacity of any American stadium. Midnight Yell Practice is a college football tradition, as tens of thousands of fans attend an event the night before games that is equal parts pep rally and instructional seminar on how to make as much noise as possible.But Rosen isnt worried about the No. 16 Bruins ears when they visit the Aggies.I mean, after like 50,000 it all sounds the same -- or doesnt sound the same, because you really dont hear anything, Rosen said. The best example is against Utah (last season). We scored the first drive and it got a lot quieter after that. So if we can open with a statement or get up on them early, then the crowd wont really be a factor.Despite an offseasons worth of focus on his actions away from the field rather than his 3,668 yards passing and 23 touchdowns as a freshman, Rosen was his usual outspoken self on Tuesday when questioned about everything from the touted Texas A&M pass rush to star Aggies wide receiver Christian Kirk to the mustache the sophomore is currently growing.Junior defensive end Myles Garrett is a current favorite to be the first non-quarterback selected in the 2017 NFL draft, having accounted for 24 sacks, 33.5 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles in two seasons. Senior defensive end Daeshon Hall had four sacks and two forced fumbles in last seasons opener against Arizona State, while defensive tackle Daylon Mack had 9.5 tackles for loss as a freshman.Yet Rosen wouldntt arbitrarily rank the Texas A&M defensive line above or below any other he faced last season.

He did hint that UCLA plans to go after a run defense that allowed 213.7 yards rushing per game, 107th in the FBS and second-to-last in the SEC.Theyre as good as a lot of teams we played, Rosen said. I think were going to have an advantage or an ability to run the football this year to be able to neutralize that. We think there are a few chinks in their armor that we are going to be able to exploit. They are never as good as they are hyped up to be or never as bad as people say they are, so youve always got to respect the defense, but dont over- or under-respect them.Rosen did profess respect for Kirk, the Scottsdale, Arizona, standout who chose Texas A&M over multiple Pac-12 schools as a recruit and justified his five-star billing as the SEC Newcomer of the Year. Rosen called Kirk a friend from their time together on the summer camp circuit, and he thought UCLA would secure his services.Kirk had 925 yards receiving, six TD catches and two punt returns for touchdowns as a freshman. Rosen credited Kirks natural ability to balance running a play as designed while still exploiting coverages, comparing that to what he called the chalkboard routes some receivers attempt.There are certain guys that run very robotic routes. He really had a feel for how to move a DB off his ground, how to get certain windows, and once he had the ball in his hands he was just a running back, he was just incredibly physical and explosive, Rosen said.
