The 17 finalists will continue to train at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs through Friday, when the final 12-man roster is expected to be announced.The U-17 World Championship is held June 23-July 3 in Zaragoza, Spain.
Quickley was named The Baltimore Sun's All-Metro Player of the Year after he averaged 17.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game for the Patriots. His late 3-pointer gave John Carroll a 51-50 win over Smith and the Gaels in the Baltimore Catholic League championship.

The 6-foot-8, 199-pound forward is rated No. 15 in the 247Sports Composite rankings, one slot behind the 6-4, 180-pound Quickley.

Pimlico Race Course: Hall of Fame rider Edgar Prado finished second aboard Stronach Stable's Demon Buster on his 49th birthday. Prado moved his tack from Florida to Maryland in May. Prado dominated the Maryland circuit for a decade — winning 24 riding titles — before moving to New York in 1998. After riding in Maryland on Friday, Prado traveled to New York on Saturday to ride Divisidero in the Woodford Reserve Manhattan Stakes (G1) before returning to Maryland to ride Sunday. "It's good to be back in Maryland after so many years," Prado said. "It's going to take time to build business back up." Prado, who won the Kentucky Derby in 2006 aboard Barbaro, said he will continue racing in Maryland through December before deciding whether to return to Florida for the winter.
