INDIANAPOLIS -- The second annual FLING is really shaping up. The FLING is a large gathering of women who love sports, on the weekend just before the start of the women's NCAA basketball championships. This year the championships are taking place in Indianapolis.

Local San Diegan Jody Sims is the executive producer and founder of the Fling and recently announced that the WNBA will be sponsoring the event. Lending their name, logo and participation is especially exciting for Sims and it will do wonders to heighten the event's visibility.
