Olympic alternate Smith, 17, rolls to U.S. gymnastics title

Ragan Smith pulled away at the U.S. gymnastics championships in Anaheim, California, to claim her first national title with a score of 115.250, more than three points clear of the field.

Smith, 17, of Snellville, Georiga, is one of the few holdovers from the 2016 Olympic cycle, serving as an alternate for the “Final Five” team that won half of the available medals in Rio de Janeiro last fall.

Women’s tennis: At Mason, Ohio, fourthseeded Garbine Muguruza, the reigning Wimbledon champion, routed second-seeded Simona Halep 6-1, 6-0 for her first Western & Southern Open title. Halep fell short for a third time this season in which one more win would have vaulted her atop the rankings.

Men’s tennis: At Mason, Ohio, seventhseeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria won his first ATP Masters title in his first final by downing Nick Kyrgios 6-3, 7-5 in the Western & Southern Open.

College football: Starting Georgia cornerback Malkom Parrish has a chance to be ready for the season opener despite having surgery last week to repair a “small” broken bone in his foot, coach Kirby Smart said.

Speedskating: At Kearns, Utah, threetime Olympic medalist J.R. Celski and Maame Biney were the men’s and women’s America’s Cup overall winners at the conclusion of the three-day U.S short track World Cup qualifier.
