\"\"KANSAS CITY, Mo.<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced it will extend championship agreements for seven of its championship host sites affected this past year by COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The extensions were announced to assist further the relationship between the NAIA and its host cities. Women’s basketball (Sioux City, Iowa), women’s wrestling (University of Jamestown, Jamestown, N.D.<\/strong>), men’s and women’s bowling (Lawrence Tech University, Sterling Heights, Mich.), men’s and women’s tennis (Mobile, Ala.), baseball (Lewis-Clark State, Lewiston, Idaho), outdoor track and field (Gulf Shores, Ala.) and men’s golf (Mesa, Ariz.) came to an agreement on a one-year extension.<\/p>\n

“We are grateful and honored to have another year to host the NAIA Women’s Wrestling Invitational on our campus,” said University of Jamestown Director of Athletics Sean Johnson.\u00a0“Our goal when we began this process was to become the home for NAIA women’s wrestling and we will continue to strike to make this a long-term relationship.\u00a0 I’m grateful to our head coach Shauna Kemp for her leadership, all of our the members of our local organization committee, our campus and community leaders and our sponsors including the United States Marine Corps, Jamestown Tourism and Resilite.”<\/p>\n

“Our host sites put in a tremendous amount of work executing NAIA championships and we value their dedication,” said NAIA President and CEO Jim Carr. “Extending their host contracts an additional year is an effort to negate any impacts from the unforeseen cancellations last winter and spring due to COVID-19.”<\/p>\n
