NCAA recommends
women’s wrestling as
‘emerging sport’
Raptors OK mentally, Warriors
shaky physically in NBA Finals
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
TORONTO — The
Toronto Raptors feel good
mentally, and they are cer-
tainly in better shape phys-
ically than the Golden
State Warriors.
The Raptors know they
have outplayed Golden
State for perhaps 90 of the
96 minutes of the NBA
Finals, and they almost
overcame the one brutal
stretch where they didn’t.
Despite being blanked for
nearly half the third quar-
ter of Game 2, the Raptors
were within two points in
the fi nal seconds.
Golden State held on
to win 109-104, tying the
series that moves to Oracle
Arena for Games 3 and 4.
The Raptors lost the game
and home-court advan-
tage, but not any of their
belief that they can win the
series.
“We fought back and we
know that going towards
Game 3 we’ve got to play
a lot better, and it’s going
to be even harder on the
road,” Raptors guard Fred
VanVleet said, “but we’re
capable and we know what
we bring to the table.”
The Warriors aren’t
quite sure, at least as it
relates to their health.
They are hoping Kevin

The NCAA committee
on women’s athletics rec-
ommended on Monday
that all three divisions add
women’s wrestling as an
emerging sport, a key step
toward making it a cham-
pionship-level sport.
If the recommenda-
tion is approved, women’s
wrestling as well as acro-
batics and tumbling would
be added as emerging
sports Aug. 1, 2020.
A sport must have at
least 20 varsity teams
and/or competitive club
teams to be considered
for the program, and at
least 40 varsity teams
for NCAA championship
consideration.
The Wrestle Like a Girl
organization and USA
Wrestling said there are
23 NCAA schools with
women’s wrestling teams,
including Texas A&M and
Colorado State. There are
13 other schools planning
to add the sport either next
year or in 2020-21. The
National Collegiate Acro-
batics and Tumbling Asso-
ciation said 29 NCAA
colleges and universities
sponsor the sport.
The emerging sports
program, which offers
sponsorship options and
helps schools meet fi nan-
cial aid and other require-
ments, began in 1994. It
has helped several sports
have reached champi-
onship status, includ-
ing beach volleyball and
ice hockey. Equestrian,
rugby and triathlon are
all currently competing as
emerging sports.
A coalition of wrestling
organizations and the U.S.
Olympic Committee sub-
mitted an application for
emerging sport status in
2017. The committee said
it applauded the continued
growth of women’s wres-
tling, noting the sport is
relatively inexpensive to
sponsor and that doing
so would add coaching
opportunities for women.
“This is a great day
for wrestling,” said Rich
Bender, executive direc-
tor of USA Wrestling.
“We are encouraged by
today’s decision, and fully
expect it to help acceler-
ate the growth of women’s
wrestling.”
Increasing opportuni-
ties for women to wres-
tle has been a major focus
for the sport in recent
years after it was briefl y
dropped from the Olympic
program in 2013. A lack
of gender equity played
a role in the decision by
the International Olym-
pic Committee. Six of
the 18 weights contested
at the last two Olympics,
in London and Rio de
Janeiro, were for women,
and a women’s gold medal
match will cap the compe-
tition in each of the last six
days of the tournament at
the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Japan has won 11 of
the 18 Olympic gold med-
als given out in women’s
wrestling.
