Hansen earns Olympic berth;
Lochte, Phelps eye showdown

Brendan Hansen, who retired from swimming after the Beijing Games but couldn't stay away, made his comeback worthwhile by winning the 100-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Olympic trials Tuesday night in Omaha, Neb., to claim a spot in the London Games.

Eric Shanteau is heading back to the Olympics, too, rallying to finish second to Hansen. Four years ago, Shanteau beat out Hansen for an individual spot on the team shortly after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. He put off treatment until after the Beijing Games and has been healthy ever since.

There was another memorable race between Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, but there's a bigger showdown to come. One night after Lochte beat Phelps in the 400 individual medley, Lochte edged him out again in the semifinals of the 200 freestyle - a tuneup for tonight's final.

Dana Vollmer, a gold medalist as a teenager in 2004 who missed out on the team four years ago while battling injuries and health problems got off to a blistering start and soared through the water to easily win the 100 butterfly.

Sprint Cup leader Kenseth
to leave Roush at end of year

NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader Matt Kenseth, one of the longest-tenured drivers in the series, will leave Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the season.

He will be replaced in the No. 17 Ford - the car he has driven for all but one of his 452 career starts - by Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Kenseth's long relationship with Ford will apparently come to an end. He is believed to be headed to Joe Gibbs Racing, either in Joey Logano's No. 20 Toyota or a fourth unannounced team.

Roush Fenway offered no answers in the sudden divorce of one of NASCAR's longest active relationships. Only Jeff Gordon, with Hendrick Motorsports since 1993, has been with his team longer than Kenseth has been with Jack Roush.

Kenseth and teammate Greg Biffle are ranked 1-2 in the Sprint Cup standings. Kenseth opened the season with his second Daytona 500 victory and has 11 top-10 finishes through 16 races.
