S P O R T S Five St. John’s athletes head to the NCAA Regional Championships

By LOIS ELFMAN

Special to the AmNews

This weekend sprinter Leah Anderson will look to extend her time as a member of the St. John’s University track and field team. It has been a remarkable five years. Anderson is intent on it concluding with a trip to Eugene, Oregon, for the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships. First, she must outrun the competition at the NCAA Regional Championships in Bloomington, Indiana.

“Overall, it’s been a great experience coaching Leah,” said St. John’s director of track and field Aliann Pompey. “By her sophomore year she was more fearless. She took some chances and they paid off. It just went from there. She pretty quickly became a leader on the team. She started off shy, but she says what needs to be said. She’s one of those people who leads by example.

“We leaned on her quite a bit as one of the captains to get the right message across and I think she did an excellent job,” she added.

At the Big East Outdoor Championships, Anderson was named the Big East Most Outstanding Track Performer and the meet’s high-point performer. She also set a new Big East record in the 400. Joining Anderson in Bloomington are freshman sprinter Tatyana McKenzie, senior sprinter Skyy Diop and two other runners from the 4x400 relay, Mandana Vouillemin and Brooklyn Chestnut. Pompey said Anderson propelled the momentum that led to this kind of success.

“[The Big East] was everything you want to happen at a championship meet,” said Pompey. “Everybody committed to our purpose over the weekend, and it worked out great. … People see we can do this out of New York, and each year it’s gotten better.”

Pompey had to push McKenzie, who is normally a 400meter runner, to run the 100. “She’s a crucial piece on our 4x400 and this year our 4x100. We knew Skyy and Leah would do well in the 400, and we didn’t want to leave the 100 wide open. We put Tatyana in there and she ended up winning,” said Pompey, adding that McKenzie is gritty and gutsy.

Graduation was last weekend and after the NCAA Championships St. John’s will bid goodbye to Diop and Anderson. Diop will return to Canada and try to make the Canadian national team and run at the World Championships this summer. Anderson plans to continue her track career.

Howard softball’s historic season ends at NCAA Regionals

By LOIS ELFMAN

Special to the AmNews

In only the second time in program history—the rst being 2007—Howard University women’s softball won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Softball Championship. With that came the MEAC’s automatic bid to the 2022 NCAA Softball Tournament.

“ is is the most depth we’ve had since I have been here,” said head coach Tori Tyson. “What’s really cool is everyone accepted their role and really tried to thrive in it and genuinely chose each other every day, even when it hurt. at’s what good teams do.”

At the start of the year, Tyson challenged her players to celebrate regardless of their roles. Watching them storm the eld after the MEAC win gave her great satisfaction. She knew each teammate committed to the team as a whole and earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Over the course of the season, each player had a time to shine.

“When I took this job, it was an eight win team whose biggest goal was to make it to the conference tournament,” said Tyson, who is in her fourth year at Howard. “It took a little bit of insanity to say this is going to be a MEAC Championship team in a few years, knowing how small we had to start. To watch this insane dream all come to realize, that these seniors…now get to celebrate. I’m so grateful as a coach that these people believed in my dream, committed to it and followed it.”

This was a tough season personally for Tyson, a single mom whose daughter’s father passed away. She looked to her players to lift her up in a tough time, and they came through for her. Howard’s women’s basketball coach, Ty Grace, also stepped up, taking Skylar, eight, who loves basketball, to the MEAC Basketball Tournament, which Howard won. Tyson has pictures of Skylar with those players.

“I try to be the best mom I can be and be the best coach,” said Tyson. “Every year presents a new challenge in balancing those roles. I try to be the best version of myself for every team. You have to stay true to yourself.”

Howard’s journey came to an end at the NCAA Regional Round in Tallahassee, Florida, last weekend. The Bison lost its opener to No. 2 Florida State 8–0. A loss at the NCAA Tournament doesn’t mean automatic elimination. Unfortunately, a 6–3 loss to Mississippi State on day two closed the door on this season, but the sense of purpose and hunger for victory continues.

Only three weeks in, and already the 2022 WNBA season is generating plenty of buzz. First-year head coach Becky Hammon has the Las Vegas Aces playing well and sitting atop the WNBA rankings. Several other former players are now coaching, including Tanisha Wright, in her first year as head coach of the Atlanta Dream.

One of Wright’s former teammates, Bronx native Kia Vaughn, is making her presence known on the Dream roster. Wright and Vaughn never played together in the WNBA but were teammates and housemates overseas in Israel. “I feel like I’ve played with her my entire career because I’ve known Tanisha my entire career,” said Vaughn. “I’m not surprised that she’s a great coach.”

Now in her 14th season as a professional basketball player, Vaughn said all is going well in Atlanta. “I think I’m the most adaptable player there is,” she said. “It’s pretty easy to adapt here. Obviously, the city is beautiful. Lots of places to go foodwise. What’s on the court, that is great—love the coaches, the GM and the owners. The players are incredible so far. It’s early, but you can feel that.”

After some disappointing seasons, the Dream is rebuilding and looking to win. Vaughn said all the players are buying in, respecting each other and allowing everyone to be themselves. While there may be some inevitable frustrations as the season goes on, those can easily be resolved when people share the same goal.

Vaughn did not go overseas this past off-season, allowing herself rest and enjoying time with her husband of two years. She admitted that it still took some adjustment. Each day, she had to think of how to spend it.

The Dream has been recognized for player activism. Vaughn said things have been relatively quiet at the start of the season, but she anticipates action moving forward. “We’re worried about BG right now,” said Vaughn, referring to Brittney Griner, her teammate for two seasons on the Phoenix Mercury, who is currently detained in Russia. “All we can do is pray. We have to allow God to see her through this.”

Vaughn, an alumna of Rutgers, also acknowledged C. Vivian Stringer’s recent retirement. “She put so much in over these 50 years,” she said. “She left a footprint that’s bigger than life in women’s basketball. …. What she brought to this game lives on forever. She’s that impor-

Tracy McGrady’s Ones Basketball League comes to Brooklyn

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Tracy McGrady was one of the most gifted offensive talents in the history of basketball. The two-time NBA scoring champion (2003 and 2004) has now provided a platform for some of the best non-NBA players to display their one-on-one skills for the opportunity to earn $250,000.

McGrady’s Ones Basketball League (OBL) is an invite only, seven city round robin knockout tournament showcasing 32 ballers at each stop until a winner, who will be dubbed “The Ruler of the Court” emerges out of the finals in Los Angeles at a yet to be determined date. The OBL makes its New York debut this weekend at Major R. Owens Community Center located at 1561 Bedford Avenue hosted by New Heights Youth Incorporated, a non-profit sports based youth development and educational organization. Games will begin Saturday at 11 a.m. and Sunday at 12 p.m.

The tournament had its first regional round in Houston the weekend of April 30 and thus far has staged its competition in Atlanta and Chicago. After New York, the OBL will move on to the Washington D.C. metro area (June 4-5), the California Bay Area (June 11-12) and concludes in Los Angeles. The winner of each region recieves $10,000 and the top three finishers in each region advance to the final round.

Contestants must be 18 and older who are currently not under an NBA contract and have not been on an active NBA roster for more than 164 games. Participants were selected through open-sourced video submissions and recommendations from basketball insiders. While this season will only include men, future OBL seasons will comprise both men and women.

S P O R T S An injured rotation doesn’t slow down the Mets

By JAIME C. HARRIS AmNews Sports Editor

The Mets had another opportunity against the San Francisco Giants yesterday on the road to become the first National League team to reach 30 wins this season, reflecting their robust beginning to the long 162-game campaign in spite of a rash of injuries hampering the starting rotation. The Yankees became the first club in Major League Baseball with 30 victories (30-13) after defeating the Baltimore Orioles 7-6 in the Bronx on Tuesday night.

The Mets, 29-15 before yesterday’s game, have been resilient in staying at the top of the NL. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob de Grom hasn’t pitched since last July and his return from right shoulder inflammation is uncertain. Three-time Cy Young honoree Max Scherzer, whom the Mets signed to a freeagent deal last December, was placed on the injured list retroactive to May 19 resulting from an injured oblique and could be out until mid-July.

The 37-year-old Scherzer is 5-1 with eight starts and had been the veteran anchor of the Mets rotation in de Grom’s absence. Tylor Megill also had been solid in seven starts, going 4-2 in 34.2 innings pitched before being placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to May 12 suffering from right biceps tendinitis.

The Mets’ hitting, which has been inconsistent but often timely, pounded the Giants for 25 combined runs Monday and Tuesday in Games 1 and 2 of a three-game series in San Francisco. Yet they came away with a split, taking the first 13-3 and losing a slugfest the following night 13-12. Mets first baseman Pete Alonso launched three home runs and drove in eight RBI, and the team had 18 hits in total in the series opener on manager Buck Showalter’s 66th birthday.

Giants outfielder Joc Pederson improbably matched Alonso’s numbers on Tuesday, blasting three homers and producing eight RBI to carry his team to a 13-12 win. Still, it took San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford’s gamewinning single off Mets closer Edwin Diaz in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Giants a dramatic victory after the Mets rallied for seven runs in the top of the eighth inning to take an 11-8 lead.

Shortstop Francisco Lindor had a home run and six runs batted in for the Mets, who will play their next six games at home at Citi Field. They begin a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies tomorrow and will host the Washington Nationals for three games Monday through Wednesday.

The first place stumble but don’t fall in the standings

Special to the AmNews

Yankees still had the best record in Major League Baseball at 29-13, tied with the Mets for the most overall wins.

They were swept by the Chicago White Sox at home on Sunday, dropping the opener 3-1 and shutout 5-0 in the second game. Yankees manager Aaron Boone had a simple explanation. "They out pitched us today. They were able to hold us down."

The Orioles kept them down a little longer, defeating the Yankees 6-4 on Monday in the first of three night games in the Bronx. "Yesterday, a tough doubleheader against a good team, and we couldn't pull anything out there," said Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge. "Tonight, we got the offense going early, and we're playing against an Orioles team that scrapped out some runs, got some big time hits with guys on base."

It's also the Orioles team that the Yankees beat three out of four games last week in Baltimore. The two teams have already faced each other 13 times this season. The weekend series with the White Sox concluded in controversy with racial overtones when Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson, who is white, addressed White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, who is Black, as Jackie. Anderson took offense to Donaldson greeting him as Jackie in the first inning and then later in the ballgame.

Donaldson claimed it was an inside joke between the two stemming from an August 2019 Sports Illustrated feature story on Anderson in which he referred to himself as a modern day Jackie Robinson, the pioneering Hall of Famer who broke MLB’s color barrier in 1947.

“I kind of feel like today’s Jackie Robinson,” Anderson is quoted in the story. “That’s huge to say. But it’s cool, man, because he changed the game, and I feel like I’m getting to a point to where I need to change the game.”

The benches cleared in the bottom of the fifth inning when Donaldson stepped up to home plate for his third atbat. He and White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal exchanged words and the players had to be separated.

“I thought that was a joke between Anderson and I, because we’ve talked about it before,” Donaldson said, noting that Anderson’s view regarding the supposed friendly banter may have changed. “As I said, let me mention again, he’s called himself Jackie Robinson."

Anderson had a different take. “He just made a disrespectful comment, you know, basically was trying to call me Jackie Robinson, like, ‘What’s up, Jackie?’ I don’t play like that, I don’t really play at all.” Donaldson was suspended for one game by MLB for the incident.

The Yankees begin a fourgame series tonight versus the Tampa Bay Rays on the road and will be back home to host the Los Angeles Angeles next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
