Jamestown (UJ/NAIA) Jamestown will host the 2019 NAIA Women’s Wrestling Invitational, on March 15-16, 2019 on the University of Jamestown campus, in Harold Newman Arena.
The NAIA added women’s wrestling as an invitational sport beginning the 2018-2019 academic year after the National Administrative Council (NAC) unanimously approved the motion at the NAIA National Convention in Kansas City, Mo., in April 2018.
The NAIA is the first intercollegiate athletics association to officially recognize women’s wrestling.
NAIA president and CEO, Jim Carr says, “The NAIA is thrilled to have the University of Jamestown host the 2019 Women’s Wrestling National Invitational. This is a milestone event for women’s wrestling and we are confident that Jamestown will deliver an exceptional experience for student-athletes, coaches, and fans.”
Twenty-five NAIA institutions – including Jamestown — were anticipated to field women’s wrestling teams during the 2018-2019 season, up from 19 the year prior. Women’s wrestling will be eligible for championship status after two years of competition as an invitational sport, and 40 institutions sponsor a varsity women’s wrestling team.
University of Jamestown President Dr. Polly Peterson says, “The University of Jamestown looks forward to hosting this tournament. We have been committed to women’s wrestling for a decade and are pleased that it is now an NAIA sport. The University and the Jamestown community look forward to welcoming the athletes and their fans. The University is appreciative of the support and participation that it received from the community as we moved through the site selection process.”
University of Jamestown Director of Athletics Sean Johnson adds, “We are proud to host the first NAIA Women’s Wrestling National Invitational.It’s a terrific opportunity to showcase Harold Newman Arena, our community and our state. This is the sixth NAIA wrestling national championship we’ve hosted here in Jamestown and one of the big reasons is our strong wrestling community. By hosting this event, we hope to grow women’s wrestling in our state and region.”
Additionally…
Harold Newman Arena will be the site for the event. The $16 million building opened September 29, 2017, and has already been the host to a college conference basketball championship tournament, high school regional basketball game, and many state, local and regional events. The 61,000 square foot facility features a private meeting room overlooking the floor, which combined with the lobby, can seat 350 people. There are 8 locker rooms, two concession stands, a game day athletic training room and conference room.
Harold Newman Arena is connected by a hallway to a brand new, state of the art athletic training center and the school’s 6,000 square foot wrestling room, recently renovated 5,500 square foot weight training center with adjacent locker room space.

CHICAGO (March 15, 2019) — In its 34th year of honoring the nation’s best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company Friday day announced Mason Walters of Jamestown High School as its 2018-19 Gatorade North Dakota Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Walters is the first Gatorade North Dakota Boys Basketball Player of the Year to be chosen from Jamestown High School.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Walters as North Dakota’s best high school boys basketball player. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Basketball Player of the Year award to be announced in March, Walters joins an elite alumni association of past state boys basketball award winners, including Karl-Anthony Towns (2012-13 & 2013-14, St. Joseph High School, N.J.), Dwight Howard (2003-04, Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy, Ga.), Chris Bosh (2001-02, Lincoln High School, Texas), Paul Pierce (1994-95, Inglewood High School, Calif.), Chauncey Billups (1993-94 & 1994-95, George Washington High School, Colo.) and Jason Kidd (1991-92, St. Joseph Notre Dame High School, Calif.).
The 6-foot-7, 205-pound senior forward led the Blue Jays to a perfect 27-0 record and the Class A state championship this past season. Walters averaged 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, converting 68.2 percent of his field goal attempts. The Western Dakota Association co-Senior Athlete of the Year, he was named MVP of the Class A state tournament.
A devoted member of his church youth group, Walters has volunteered locally on behalf of Meals on Wheels and youth sports programs. “Walters is very good on both ends of the floor,” said Daved Lundeen, head coach at Williston High. “He’s a nightmare for anyone in the state to guard in the low post, and he’s extremely efficient. He rebounds and defends the rim better than anyone.”
Walters has maintained a 3.79 GPA in the classroom. He has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball on scholarship at the University of Jamestown this fall.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport.
The selection process is administered by the Gatorade Player of the Year Selection Committee, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.
Walters joins Gatorade North Dakota Boys Basketball Players of the Year Joe Pistorius (2017-18, West Fargo High School), Aanen Moody (2016-17 & 2015-16, Dickinson High School), and Carter Kretchman (2014-15, Oak Grove Lutheran High School) among the state’s list of former award winners.
As a part of Gatorade’s cause marketing platform “Play it Forward,” Walters also has the opportunity to award a $1,000 grant to a local or national youth sports organization of his choosing. He is also eligible to submit an essay to win one of twelve $10,000 spotlight grants for the organization of choice, which will be announced throughout the year.
Since the program’s inception in 1985, Gatorade Player of the Year award recipients have won hundreds of professional and college championships, and many have also turned into pillars in their communities, becoming coaches, business owners and educators.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Interstates in North Dakota and South Dakota were reopening Friday as residents were digging out from a late-winter storm. Still, authorities were urging residents to use caution while traveling. Floodwaters in southern Wisconsin began receding Friday, but several roads remained impassable. In the Green Bay area, flooding from the East River forced some evacuations in areas where the water was several feet deep.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Legislature has slightly increased tax collection expectations for the next two-year budget cycle due to a belief in stable oil prices and production. House and Senate appropriation committees on Thursday predicted general fund tax collections at just under $4 billion. That’s just $25 million more than what the GOP-led Legislature used as a budgetary starting point in January.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) — Officials say nine Indian nationals or people of Indian origin are missing after the mosque attacks in Christchurch.
India’s high commissioner to New Zealand, Sanjiv Kohli, tweeted Saturday that nine people were missing and called the attack a “huge crime against humanity.”
Indian officials have not said whether the nine were believed to be living in Christchurch.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a letter to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern saying that “hatred and violence have no place in diverse and democratic societies.”
An immigrant-hating white nationalist killed at least 49 people gathered for weekly prayers in a live-streamed attack. Another 48 people suffered gunshot wounds.
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) — Initial reports indicate that several of those killed or wounded in the shooting rampage at two New Zealand mosques were from the Middle East or South Asia.
The attack by an immigrant-hating white nationalist killed at least 49 people as they gathered for Friday prayers.
Bangladesh’s honorary consul in Auckland, Shafiqur Rahman Bhuiyan, told The Associated Press that “so far” three Bangladeshis were among those killed and four or five others were wounded, including two left in critical condition.
Two Jordanians were among those killed, and others were wounded. Four Pakistanis were wounded and five are still missing.
Malaysia says two of its citizens were hospitalized, and the Saudi Embassy in Wellington says two Saudis were wounded. Two Indonesians, a father and son, were also among those shot and wounded.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will sign the first veto of his presidency Friday, a day after Congress vote to terminate the national emergency Trump declared at the southern border. His declaration was an effort to circumvent Congress to secure more money for his proposed border wall.
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley says in an appearance on Fox News that the president will be signing the veto at 3:30 p.m. in the Oval Office. He says Trump will be joined with law enforcement as well as the parents of children killed by people in the country illegally.
Hogan is calling this “a sad moment and a very important moment” and says the vote against the president is also a vote “against the America people and their safety and security.”
Republicans joined Senate Democrats in blocking the order but there do not appear to be enough votes for an override.
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — More asylum seekers are being forced to wait in Mexico while their cases wind through clogged U.S. immigration court.
The Trump administration introduced the major policy change in January amid a surge of families from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador arriving at the Mexico border.
Some who are waiting in Mexico struggle to get settled and find legal advice, and say they feel unsafe.
Change is being introduced slowly, with only 240 people being returned to Tijuana from San Diego in the first six weeks. But the administration expanded its “Migrant Protection Protocols” strategy this week to a second border crossing, in Calexico, California, and officials say the practice will grow along the entire border.
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned the attacks on mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch calling it the “latest example of rising racism and Islamophobia.”
Tweeting in English and Turkish on Friday, Erdogan said: “On behalf of my country, I offer my condolences to the Islamic world and the people of New Zealand, who have been targeted by this deplorable act.”
He also wished a speedy recovery to the wounded.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said 40 people were killed in the attack on two mosques.
Turkey’s private NTV news channel quoted Turkish embassy officials as saying there are no Turkish citizens among the dead.
(AP) For more than six decades, the Federal Aviation Administration has relied on employees of airplane manufacturers to do government-required safety inspections as planes are being designed or assembled.
But critics say the system is too cozy as company employees do work for an agency charged with keeping the skies safe while being paid by an industry that the FAA is regulating.
The FAA’s oversight duties are coming under greater scrutiny after deadly crashes involving Boeing 737 Max jets operated by airlines in Ethiopia and Indonesia, killing a total of 346 people. The U.S. was nearly alone in allowing the planes to keep flying until it relented on Wednesday.
The FAA concedes that it lacks resources but its program’s results speak for themselves. The U.S. has the safest skies in the world.
BERLIN (AP) — United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he was inspired by the student climate strikers to call a special summit in September to deal with what he called “the climate emergency.”
“My generation has failed to respond properly to the dramatic challenge of climate change,” Guterres wrote in an opinion piece in The Guardian. “This is deeply felt by young people. No wonder they are angry.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, says North Korea’s allegations that he and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo created an atmosphere of hostility and mistrust at last month’s nuclear summit in Hanoi are “inaccurate.”
North Korea’s Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said Friday that Trump was willing to talk, but was influenced by uncompromising demands by Pompeo and Bolton. She said the “gangster-like stand of the U.S. will eventually put the situation in danger.”
Bolton said Friday he has spoken with his South Korean counterpart about the North Korea allegations.
The North said Kim Jong Un (gihm jung oon) will decide soon whether to continue the talks aimed at getting him to give up his nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief.
