While on a visit to a factory on Saturday where Storm Shadow missiles are assembled, Healey said the government would support the procurement of up to 7,000 U.K.-built long-range weapons and that new funding will see U.K. munitions spending hitting 6 billion pounds in the coming years.
Nuguse attended Notre Dame, where he majored in biochemistry, planning for dental school, as he excelled in cross country and track. In 2019, he captured the 1,500 at the NCAA championships.Two years later, he finished runner-up to Cole Hocker at the same meet. Nuguse also qualified that season for the U.S. Olympic trials, where he took third and earned a spot to the Tokyo Games.
He put dentistry aspirations on the back burner when he made Team USA.“I’m like, ‘Maybe this is something I can continue doing?‘” said Nuguse, who didn’t race in Tokyo because of a quad injury. “I figured running can’t wait, but dental school can.”Last summer at the Paris Games, Nuguse was in the medal mix in the 1,500 heading into the home stretch. The race was billed as a
British runner Josh Kerr and Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen. But Hocker and Nuguse crashed the party, with Hocker surging past Kerr for the win and Nuguse closing fast to beat out Ingebrigtsen for the bronze.It was part of a memorable showing by the American distance core, with
bronze in the 5,000 and 10,000.
took silver in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.The Thunder have had long breaks between games during the playoffs the past two years, with mixed results.
They swept the New Orleans Pelicans in last year’s first round, thenin Game 1 of the conference semifinals after waiting eight days between games. The Thunder eventually lost that series 4-2.
After this year’s series against Memphis, the Thunder were in a similar situation. Denver’s first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers went seven games, so Daigneault gave the players some extra rest since there were nine days between games. The focus for the team was less on an opponent at first and more on fine-tuning his team’s issues.“I mean, really just reinforcement of fundamentals,” he said heading into the Denver series. “The game defensively is going to come down to transition D (defense), it’s going to come down to individual D, help D, coverage, communication, closeouts, rebounding. So we’re looking at the series through that lens. And then offensively, (we’ll take) all the fundamentals on that end of the floor that transcend each coverage and pull it up.”
