COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Ice dancers Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto are retiring from competitive figure skating.

The announcement came Thursday, but the duo frequently mentioned that the past season would be their last.

The five-time U.S. champions in ice dance did not compete at the world championships after finishing fourth at the Vancouver Olympics. Belbin and Agosto, who won silver at the 2006 Turin Games, leave as the most decorated ice dancers in U.S. history.

Belbin is originally from Kirkland, Que. Belbin and Agosto plan to keep skating together professionally.

The Wichita Figure Skating club will play host to the Mid-Continent Invitational on Saturday and Sunday at the Wichita Ice Center. More than 100 skaters are expected to compete. Skaters will perform compulsory and free-skate routines in men's, women's, pairs and dance divisions.

Football

Kansas football player Darrell Stuckey is the Big 12's male sportsperson of the year, the conference announced Thursday. Oklahoma's Hollie Vise, a gymnast, earned the women's honor. The award recognizes student-athlete who display an extraordinary degree of sportsmanship or community service.

HOCKEY

Four International Hockey League teams, the Fort Wayne Komets, the Bloomington Prairie Thunder, the Dayton Gems and the Quad City Mallards, will join the Central Hockey League for the 2010-11 season.

SOCCER

Kei Kamara and Graham Zusi both exploited the Philadelphia defense with first-half goals, and the Kansas City Wizards broke an eight-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory over the Union at Kansas City, Kan. Kansas City (3-5-3) won for the first time since beating Colorado 1-0 at home on April 10.
