Kansas’ Jordan to Play in University Games

Adonis Jordan, a former Cleveland High standout guard who helped Kansas to the Final Four earlier this year, was among 12 players selected to represent the United States in the World University Games, USA Basketball announced Wednesday.

Other players selected include Duke guard Bobby Hurley and Indiana forwards Eric Anderson and Calbert Cheaney.

Seton Hall’s P. J. Carlesimo is the head coach.

The World University Games will begin Monday in Sheffield, England. The United States has dominated the basketball competitions, winning seven of 11 gold medals, including in the 1989 games.

Anthony Bartley of Lynwood High, who placed third in the boys’ triple jump in the state championships last month, has signed a letter of intent with the Cal State Northridge track and field program.

Bartley, who won the Southern Section 4-A Division title and placed first in the Masters meet, has a personal best of 48 feet 4 inches.

“(Northridge assistant) Tony (Veney) thinks he can get out to 51 feet next season,” Northridge Coach Don Strametz said. “(Bartley) needs to do some strength work to do that, but Tony is confident that with a good fall workout program he can.”

Bartley’s addition brings to 15 (eight men and seven women) the number of track athletes Northridge has signed since April 10.

Trevor Wilson, a former Cleveland High and UCLA standout, is among 11 players invited to the San Antonio Spurs rookie and free-agent camp, the NBA team said Wednesday.

Wilson averaged 2.2 points in 25 games for the Atlanta Hawks this season before being waived. The Spurs’ camp will open July 19 in San Antonio.

Candice Schlom of Calabasas won the Spruce Meadows North American Show Jumping championship in Calgary, Canada, last Sunday.

The victory marked the first time the 21-year-old Schlom has won at the Spruce Meadows International Ring.
