You are a candidate for a Metz 45 series flash. Not only it has almost
all of the properties you desire, there is also an optional condensor
accessory, which concentrates the light output of the flash and so
doubles the GN and range - very useful for sports photography (specs at
www.metz.de/mecablitz/eng/produkte/zubehoer/Welcome.html).

U.S. price for anything Metz is outrageous. You might want to consider
ordering from Europe. Prices are significantly lower - say, model 45CL4
is $387 at Adorama with $45 rebate, and about $230 at
www.technikdirekt.de/english, when you figure in the VAT refund.
