Seconds fly by in a lifetime and most ticks go unnoticed. But St. Paul's junior Jack Mutchnik will never forget the two seconds he enjoyed on the mat during the National Prep wrestling championships at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., on Saturday. Trailing, 4-3, to nationally ranked Judson Preskitt of Pennsylvania's Wyoming Seminary in the championship match of the 126-pound weight class with those two seconds remaining, Mutchnik scored a sudden takedown to earn a thrilling 5-4 decision.

NOIRMOUTIER-EN-L'ILE, France - Lance Armstrong pedaled with such ferocity that his right foot slipped off the pedal before he'd barely pushed himself out of the starting gate. Armstrong muttered something, hunched his shoulders and slammed ahead, moving with a single purpose. To send a message. Aiming to win an unprecedented seventh straight Tour de France in this retirement race, Armstrong finished two seconds behind the unlikely stage winner, David Zabriskie, in yesterday's 11.8-mile first-stage time trial at the Tour de France.

In last night's game pitting the dominating inside presence of South Carroll against the accurate perimeter game of Frederick, a last-second defensive play proved the difference for the visiting Cadets. After rallying from a six-point deficit in the final 42 seconds, the Cavaliers boys basketball team lost its chance to win when Shane Beccio's pass to 6-foot-9 Josh Boone - who had only 10 feet of lane between him and a potential game-winning dunk - was picked off by the Cadets' Tommy McIntyre with two seconds left, sending South Carroll to a 69-68 loss.

With two seconds left in the four-minute overtime period, Lake Clifton's Tavon Nelson intercepted an inbounds pass intended for Southern's Melvin Scott at midcourt. Then he bricked it - high off the backboard. Luckily, however, his teammate Aaron Cook caught the rebound and banked it in with two-tenths of a second left, lifting the No. 8 Lakers (12-3 overall, 3-1 league) to a come-from-behind, 63-61 victory at third-ranked Baltimore City League rival Southern (13-4, 3-1). "I saw the ball coming to me and just went for it," said Cook, who scored a team-high 17 points.
