College Student Killed in Devastating East Coast Skiing Accident

This tragedy comes shortly after a fatal skiing accident occurred at New Hampshire’s Cranmore Mountain Resort. The victim was a 12-year-old boy named Jack Murray. While the slopes offer endless fun and laughter, they can also have fatal consequences. Know the dangers and arrive prepared to mitigate the risks as much as possible.New Jersey resident Alex Kemp, 19, lost his life in a tragic skiing accident on Monday, Jan. 6.“Here are a few details about Alex, for those who did not have the good fortune to know him. He came to Williams from the Christian Brothers Academy in New Jersey, after being recruited by Cross Country coach Dusty Lopez. Christian Brothers has a nationally respected cross country program, and even as a first-year here Alex quickly became a beloved and important member of the team, thanks to his talent and personality.”Like Kemp, Murray was also a well-rounded young man who was heavily involved in his school community. According to reports, Kemp was skiing down the Cutter Trail route when the incident occurred. Cutter Trail is listed as a black diamond trail on the Jiminy Peak map. “Dusty says, ‘Alex had a self-assured, positive, kind way about him and it was consistent every day. This made him such a valubale member of our team, even in his first year – above and beyond his obvious gifts as an athlete. He loved being at Williams, being part of our team, and he always knew how to bring others along with him.'”Skiing is often viewed as a family-friendly activity.”Kemp had gone over an embankment and appeared to have suffered significant head trauma,” Berkshire County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.Kemp, a student at Williams College, was visiting Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort in Hancock, Massachusetts to go skiing.Immediately following the accident, medical personnel arrive on the scene and transported Kemp to Berkshire Medical Center, followed by Baystate Medical Center for further treatment.Officials stated that drugs and alcohol were not involved. Although Kemp was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, his injuries were too substantial to survive. Kemp, evidently a gifted NCAA athlete and academic student, will be missed by students and staff at Williams College.According to WWLP, the president of Williams College, Maud Mandel, released a heartfelt statement to the school community, informing students of the tragedy and honoring Kemp and his achievements.

New ASAS Chief Unveils Plans For Equitable Coaching

KUCHING: The newly elected President of the Amateur Swimming Association of Sarawak (ASAS), Tan Kun Gee, has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for 2025-2026, focusing on rural development, coach mobility, and broader participation in competitive swimming and water polo.

Tan thanked ASAS members for their trust and support and called on the newly elected committee to work closely together for the continued growth of Sarawak swimming and water polo.

“It’s my privilege to be elected as President for 2025 and 2026. Let’s work together closely for our Sarawak swimming and water polo sports,” he told Sarawak Tribune when contacted.

At the heart of his vision is a proposed five-year development plan to be submitted to the Sarawak Sports Corporation (SSC), aimed at creating structured swimming programmes in rural areas.

The plan includes efforts to set up swimming clubs or associations in every division of Sarawak and to open ASAS affiliation to all interested swimming bodies.

To encourage broader participation, he announced that all swimming competitions would be open to Sarawak swimmers, with a particular push for more entries into key events like the Malaysia Invitational Age Group (MIAG), Malaysia Open, and international meets.

The manifesto includes a transparent registration system for officials, coaches, and swimmers, along with plans to secure long-term sponsorships to support national-level athletes and provide incentives for clubs and coaches.

Among the most significant reforms is a commitment to decentralise coaching resources.

He said foreign coaches engaged by ASAS should not be stationed in Kuching alone but should travel across Sarawak to train swimmers in every division.

“It’s not fair to fix the coach in Kuching. The coach needs to move around Sarawak to train all swimmers,” he said.

Tan proposed rotating the hosting of major competitions like the Wong Soon Kai (WSK) meet and assisting in the upgrade of pool facilities outside of Kuching.

Technical officials and coaches will also be rotated for key meets such as MIAG, Malaysia Open, Borneo Games, and SUKMA to ensure equal exposure and development opportunities statewide.

Looking ahead, he expressed a strong interest in organising overseas training programmes for Sarawak swimmers and hosting more national and international events for swimming, diving, and water polo.

To increase public visibility and engagement, ASAS will launch a Facebook page to promote aquatic sports and achievements.

He also floated the idea of rebranding the association from ASAS to Sarawak Aquatics to reflect a more inclusive, modern identity.

In addition, he proposed closer coordination with the state education sports body to support swimmer selection for the MSSM (Malaysia Schools Sports Council) through dedicated state-level competitions.

“Yearly technical official and coaching courses will be conducted to maintain and improve standards,” he said.

He then called on unity and collaboration in building Sarawak into a national aquatic powerhouse.

The U16 water polo team of Montenegro won the bronze medal at the European Championships in Istanbul.

In the match for third place, the young “sharks” dominantly defeated Croatia – 12:7 (4:2, 3:2, 2:1, 3:2).

The question of the winner was never raised, because our team showed that it was better from the first attack.

Great goalkeeper Jakša Milanović enchanted the net, his saves motivated his teammates, so Montenegro took a 4:1 lead at the end of the first quarter and did not let go of the secure lead until the end.

Danilo Roganović and Andrej Durutović scored three goals each, Luka Cerović scored two, and Luka Popović, Matija Franeta, Petar Nikolić and Luka Dragović scored one each.

The bronze medal from Istanbul is the 13th medal won by our junior teams at major competitions since 2006.

SUMMIT, Miss.(SWCC Athletics)—Former William Carey Volleyball player Lainey Brumfield has been hired as the Southwest Volleyball Assistant Coach. She will be working with head coach Chris Laird in the sport’s first season back on campus since the early 1970’s.

Brumfield is no stranger to the sport bringing nearly a decade of experience to Summit. The goal of being a coach in the college ranks is one that she has had on her radar for multiple years.

“It’s a big change for my life,” she said. “I’ve been wanting to be a collegiate coach for years now.”

The volleyball journey started for Brumfield, a native of Foxworth and an alum of West Marion High School, when she started playing the sport in middle school. “I’ve been playing for eight years now,” she said. “When I was a sophomore in high school I tried out for a club team in Hattiesburg. Eventually I moved on to play for Matrix down on the Coast. The club years were my sophomore, junior and senior years in high school.”

During that time, Brumfield not only worked on her game but also met someone who would play a big role in her career.

“I actually met the coach that influenced me the most, Kelly Pitre,” she said. “She was my biggest influence as a coach. Someone I looked up to and who I wanted to be as a coach. She also helped me get in contact with a few colleges. Moving into my senior year I got an offer from (William) Carey to go play. It felt like home for me. I ended up going there playing indoor and beach.”

The want to coach for Brumfield came during her senior year in high school and by the next year, she was coaching club ball, a job she held throughout for the next two years before spending the 2024 season at Petal Middle School.

Brumfield feels like her age and being able to relate more with the girls on the team is a big advantage for her.

“I feel like am very mature for my age,” she said. “I feel like with that I won’t get into a friendship with the girls and I’ll keep it professional but also I’ll be able to relate their current life events that they are going through because college can be a big change.”

Being a former student athlete herself, she understands the importance of academics will help implement it on the team.

“At the end of the day you are a student athlete and the student has to come first before the athletics,” she said. “Volleyball will not last forever. You have to have your degree to go further into life and into your future job. My goal is to make these girls ready for their future job and life.”

Coach Laird said that he is very happy to bring Brumfield on board adding that with her experience, she can be a huge help in pushing the renewed program it in the right direction.

“It is great that there is someone who played on the collegiate level both indoor and outdoor,” he said. “The thing that I love about Lainey is that she is super organized and she will relate well with our players. She has already been in the club season and realizes the importance of reaching out to club coaches as well as high school coaches to improve our recruiting area.

He also says that she brings both lead-by-example and vocal leadership qualities. “We will sit down and and discuss what the program will look like, where it needs to go and then after that, I expect her to be vocal on the coaching staff as well as being on the court to demo some stuff.”

Tucker Carlson Completely Misses Point On Transgender Athletes In Women's Sports


During a speech at a Turning Point USA event over the weekend, conservative political pundit Tucker Carlson spoke dismissively about the issue of transgender athletes – biological men – competing in women’s sports in light of bigger problems facing the country. 

The breadth of Carlson’s commentary is that while men competing in women’s sports is wrong, it’s not an important issue. In his estimation, Republicans and conservatives are exaggerating their victories on the matter and losing focus on bigger problems in the United States. 

“You spend all day telling me that it’s so important that boys not play on girls’ soccer teams or whatever. I agree. I hate the tranny stuff,” Carlson said. “But, I don’t know, it kind of feels like you’re feeding me appetizers. At some point, I want to look around and see a better country.”  

After a quick aside to suggest that the United States should employ the military to stop drugs from coming into the country, he circled back to the transgender issue. 

“Why are my cities disgusting? I don’t even want to go there. It smells like weed and halal food. And you’re lecturing me about how it’s a great moral victory that I kicked the boys off the girls’ soccer team,” Carlson said. “Good. I’m so glad. But let’s do the real stuff like making New York [City] livable.”

Here’s Carlson’s full rant: 

I understand where Carlson is coming from. I really do. At the end of the day, boys and men in girls’ and women’s sports don’t affect as many Americans as, say, the opiod crisis or rampant homelessness. Anyone who has spent time in the biggest cities in the country – New York and Los Angeles – understands this. 

Transgender Athletes Are A Symptom Of A Larger Issue

The transgender athlete debate – which is an adjunct of the Democrats’ insistence on unwavering support for gender ideology – represents a far deeper cultural issue.

The essential platform of the modern Democratic Party in America boils down to a simple solution for everything: compassion. Democrats and their left-wing allies believe that compassion should trump everything else when it comes to policy. 

But Democrats don’t actually understand the word compassion. 

They believe that the compassionate response to homeless people – nearly all of whom are helplessly addicted to drugs or suffering from intense mental illness – is to let them continue to do drugs and sleep on the streets. In their minds, it’s cruel to put them in jail or force them into shelters or rehab facilities. 

They apply the same logic to the transgender issue. A young boy believes he’s actually a girl? OK, let him be a girl. That’s what Democrats think. The compassionate thing to do is to indulge that delusion and bend over backwards to make the rest of society indulge the delusion as well. Make no mistake: a boy or a girl believing they are living in the wrong body is a delusion in the vast majority of cases. It needs to be treated as such. 

Democrats are, essentially, bad parents. 

Compassion Is Bad Parenting

Think about it this way. You’re a parent. Your child is screaming because he or she wants to eat ice cream for dinner and isn’t interested in the broccoli on the plate. What is the compassionate thing to do in this situation? Well, according to Democrats, give the kid ice cream. That’s what they want, so give it to them. 

Does anyone believe that’s actually the correct parenting move? Of course not. The real compassion is tough love. You want to eat ice cream for dinner? Too bad. It’s not good for you, and you’ll thank me later. 

Now, you might be thinking that this analogy doesn’t work for these complex situations. But I disagree. In fact, I think it’s the perfect analogy, especially because that’s how the Democratic Party views itself: They believe it’s the role of the government to serve as the parents of children. Look at their policies if you think I’m wrong. Democrats, at their core, believe that citizens have no control over their own lives, like children. Republicans, on the other hand, generally preach personal accountability, like adults. 

But what does any of this have to do with Tucker’s rant? The problem isn’t just that some males compete in women’s sports. Yes, it’s terrible that women are forced to share locker rooms and bathrooms with men in the name of gender ideology. Or have to sacrifice their athletic opportunities. But it’s the root of why that’s happening that underscores the insidiousness of the issue. 

Republicans focusing on this issue, and having the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with them, is an extremely important cultural victory that has already started to change the narrative. 

Many Americans look the other way while Democrat-run cities fall into complete disarray thanks to drugs, mental illness, homelessness and general mismanagement. But when Democrats say that boys can be girls and that they can use whatever bathroom they choose and compete against whomever they want, Americans are standing up and saying, “Enough!” 

Adults Acting Like Adults

This is about much more than just keeping men out of women’s sports. It’s a signal that the adults in the room are finally starting to act like adults. The days of letting your kid eat ice cream, play video games and contribute nothing are over. It’s time to teach them personal responsibility and, sometimes, that means being the bad guy – at least at the moment. 

Because long-term, tough love early in life leads to an easier time later in life. It’s a simple concept, one that’s been known for hundreds – if not thousands – of years, but one that we seem to have forgotten in these modern times. The win of keeping men out of women’s sports is not a small victory, as Carlson suggests. It’s a major victory that signals a broader cultural shift that America very much needed. 

People are, hopefully, waking up to the disastrous policy decisions made by Democrats. Without winning the battle on transgender athletes, Republicans couldn’t have exposed the other problems created by Democrats. American citizens are looking at Democrat politicians who are still pushing gender ideology, and supporting men in women’s sports, and saying, “If you believe something that ridiculous, how can I trust you on other important issues?” 

That’s why Tucker Carlson missed the mark. He downplays the importance of the transgender athlete issue because there are, in his mind, more important issues facing the country. He’s right about that, but also wrong. Winning the battle against transgender athletes in women’s sports and gender ideology sets up Republicans to start gaining important ground in the culture war. You don’t have to win every battle to win a war. But you have to win the important ones. 

This is one of those very important victories.

Earlier this June, the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) recognized the achievements of two Bellevue College teams and two student-athletes, inducting them into the 2025 Hall of Fame.

The Northwest Athletic Conference is the parent organization for 37 community colleges throughout Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. Annually, they honor exceptional athletes, coaches and teams within the NWAC by presenting awards like Coach of the Year and inducting new members into the Hall of Fame.

The two teams recognized, while being the only two inducted this year, are Bellevue College’s 1981 Women’s Cross Country team and 1983 Women’s Track and Field team. Rhonda Bell and Lisa Kindelan were Bellevue College’s student athletes inducted, among six other student athlete inductees across the conference. 

In total, half of the Hall of Fame inductees this year hail from Bellevue College.

Starting after the first inductee of the ceremony, track and field athlete, Rhonda Bell was inducted into the Hall of Fame posthumously. At the 1980 Spokane Community College meet, Bell won the 400-meter, 200-meter and long-jump events. She set meet record times for the 200-meter event and established the second-best long jump in NWAC history. Additionally, Bell anchored the winning 1600-meter relay for Bellevue College during that meet. Highlighting her accomplishments, she was named Bellevue College Female Athlete of the Year. 

Bell further defended her titles in the 400 and 200-meter events in the following 1981 season. Even more than 40 years later, Bell still holds the fastest 400-meter race times in the NWAC, at 53.69 and 54.21 seconds. 

Bell continued her athletic career at Oregon State University, going on to establish an eighth all-time in the 400-meter race and being named “All-Pac 10” twice. After an incredibly decorated career, Bell sadly passed away in 2015.

Also inducted into the Hall of Fame was cross-country and track athlete Lisa Kindelan. 

She led Bellevue’s women’s cross country team to its first women’s championship, the NWAC Cross Country Championship in 1980, and won the individual championship with a record time of 17:53 in 1981. By the time the season finished, Bellevue College’s cross-country team ranked #1 nationally. Kindelan helped Bellevue College win the NWAC championships in 1981 and 1982. She ran impressive times of 10:20 for the 3K race and a 17:54 for the 5K in 1981.

Kindelan transferred to the University of Idaho, where she competed all-conference in cross country and track and field during her upperclassmen years. Kindelan remains the only woman in the NWAC to compete in three Olympic trials, placing 10th, 19th, and 29th in her three trial marathons. Throughout the 1990s, she competed in many notable marathons, such as the U.S. Marathon (2:35:00) in 1995 and the USA 5K championships in 1996. Kindelan was also a member of the U.S. Track and Field team at Seattle’s Goodwill Games in 1990, where she finished in fourth.

Bellevue College’s 1981 Women’s Cross Country team and 1983 Track & Field team were last to be inducted. Throughout the 1980s, they contributed greatly to Bellevue College’s athletic history. 

Notably, 1981’s Women’s Cross Country competed exceedingly well at the NWAC championship that season. The first, second and third place finishes by the Bellevue College athletes rank as three of the four fastest times ever run at a NWAC Cross Country Championship. The team’s first, second, third, seventh, eighth and ninth placements during the NWAC’s Women’s Cross Country Championship helped contribute to their undisputed win that year.

Additionally, Bellevue College’s 1983 Women’s Track and Field team remains the most dominant team in NWAC history. Thirteen out of seventeen events at the NWAC Track and Field Championships were won by this team, as well as scoring in all seventeen events. The athletes set four conference records and three of them remain today. 

Bellevue College athletics director, Jeremy Eggers, emphasized his pride about the Hall of Fame inductions. “This was a great way to honor the rich sports history at Bellevue College,” Eggers said. He also noted that this was the first time in eight years that Bellevue College had been honored by the NWAC. 

It was clear that representation mattered to Eggers during this year’s nomination process. “Bellevue College didn’t have any females or female teams inducted prior, so I thought that was an important thing to acknowledge,” says the athletic director. “These were the best of the best at the time in the NWAC. These are very good representations of our athletic department, and what they did back then is what we’re continuing to strive to do in the sports that we do currently have.” 

This year’s inductees represent what Bellevue College’s athletics have always been about一dedication and hard work in the face of adversity. Congratulations to the inductees and Bellevue College athletics!
