ANOTHER discus world record falls in a field in a tiny town in Oklahoma. Plus, national championships for Youngstown State, Western Michigan, and a last-to-first volleyball title.
Not much to report quite yet, but another development in women's professional volleyball is that the PVF champion Omaha Supernovas announced the first week of this season that they're a charter member of Major League Volleyball, starting next year and funded by the Sacramento Kings guy.
Yup. And to add to this - one of the teams will be in Sacramento (naturally) and two of the other major investors in the league are beach volleyball legend Kerri Walsh Jennings and…….Jason Derulo…
*BU did at least get one collegiate championship on the ice this weekend -- they won the intercollegiate figure skating championships, their 8th ever title (now leading all teams) and third in the past four years.
*Jaelyn Liu (USA) won junior, cadet, and junior team women's foil at Junior & Cadet Fencing Worlds this past week. The only others to win junior, cadet, and junior team in the same year are Mariel Zagunis and Becca Ward, two of the best US sabrists ever.
Thinking about WMU I'm just curious if anyone knows how many national championships the MAC has won? What conferences have never won a national championship in anything? (I know WMU isn't MAC for hockey but still)

So are there going to be three leagues?????

The team has to sing its own name before every point
My favorite sports things of the week:

Great question. I know Akron won the men’s soccer championship, can’t think of any others off the top of my head!
