TORONTO -- Organizers of the 2015 Parapan Am Games are counting down one year until more than 1,600 para-athletes hit Toronto for a chance at gold. Sports Minister Bal Gosal said the games offer Canadian para-athletes a "tremendous opportunity" to hone their skills on home turf. All 15 sports at the Parapan Am Games are qualifiers for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Calgarian para-cyclist and quadruple amputee Jaye Milley said its "indescribable" to have the games in Canada. "Its so amazing having your home crowd cheer for you," he said, adding that the para-sport movement is gradually becoming more popular. Milley finished fourth in the 1,000-metre time trial at the 2011 Parapan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. "What people are starting to realize is we train just as hard. We are just as competitive. We go just as fast and we are just as good to watch," he said. Wheelchair basketball player David Eng said his entire team is moving to Toronto to train together in the lead-up to the games. "This is the only thing that matters for us right now," he said, adding that the one-year countdown is a milestone that has spurred the team to train harder. In celebration of the countdown, organizers launched a video dubbed "Are you ready?" showcasing para-athletes and their intensive training rituals. Eng, a two-time Paralympic winner from Montreal, said his regimen includes doing chin-ups while sitting in a wheelchair, lifting it off the ground. He added that he also puts elastic bands on the wheels of his chair to create resistance and in the past he has used a gas mask during exercise to restrict oxygen intake, forcing him to focus on breathing. "Its really amazing that its here in Toronto," he said, adding that its a chance to show the public what wheelchair basketball is all about. "The high performance, the high elite, the excitement, the electricity," he said. Next years competition, from Aug. 7 to 15, 2015, will mark the first time the Parapan Am Games will be held in Canada. Gosal said preparations for the games are going well. "All the venues are either on budget or under budget, on time," he said. The federal government committed $500 million to infrastructure, legacy funds and services such as border security for the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. The Parapan Am Games follow the Pan Am Games, which will take place in Toronto July 10 to 26 next year. Swingman T.J.

Doughty completed 31 of his 42 tries for the Hilltoppers (8-5), with Anthony Wales and Leon Allen adding a rushing score apiece. Willie McNeal led his club with 155 yards and a touchdown on five receptions, while Jared Dangerfield, Mitchell Henry, Antwane Grant and Joel German each contributed a TD grab. Cooper Rush tossed seven TDs -- four of them to Titus Davis including an improbable score with one second remaining -- and 485 yards on 28-of-45 attempts for the Chippewas (7-6). Davis ended up with six catches for a game-high 142 yards, Courtney Williams recorded touchdowns on two of his three receptions and Anthony Garland added a scoring grab. Martez Walker totaled 76 yards on nine carries. Western Kentucky failed to move the ball beyond its opponents 41-yard line with seconds to go, and the subsequent punt pinned Central Michigan at its own 20. An illegal procedure penalty pushed the ball up five yards before bedlam ensued. Rush let a pass fly from his own 25. Jesse Kroll made the initial catch, and rumbled to the WKU 30 before losing control. Deon Butler advanced the ball two more yards, then lateraled to Williams for eight more. Davis finally received the ball at the 20 and managed to outrace several tacklers before diving for the right pylon to pull CMU within 49-48. However, the two-point conversion pass to Kroll in the back-right corner of the end zone fell incomplete and the Hillttoppers could breathe a massive sigh of relief.dddddddddddd A spirited opening quarter saw Western Kentucky emerge with a 21-7 edge thanks to TD passes from Doughty to Dangerfield, German and Grant around a 22-yard connection from Rush to Davis.

Williams capped a 64-yard series on the seventh play by hauling in a 10-yard pass with 3:04 to play and CMU pulled within two scores.
