VESTAL, N.Y. – In the first weekend of May, junior Samson Joseph and sophomore Marcus Nahim represented Binghamton at the America East Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Durham, New Hampshire. 

Three weeks later, the Bearcat duo was representing Binghamton again. This time, however, it was at the annual Black Student-Athlete Summit in Chicago.

Both Nahim and Joseph are part of the Binghamton Athletic Department’s Student-Athletes of Color for Success (SACS). Over the past few years, the SACS has sent representatives to the Black Student-Athlete Summit. This year, Nahim and Joseph were both motivated to attend the event.

“I was inspired to attend the Black Student-Athlete Summit because I wanted to be in a space where my identity as both a black student and an athlete was not only understood but celebrated,” Joseph said. “Being in a space where I was not only surrounded by people immersed in black excellence and people who have the experience, knowledge and secrets to be successful was what really made it a no-brainer to attend the Black Student Athlete Summit.”

“What inspired me to go to the Black Student-Athlete Summit was seeing others from previous years attend the summit,” Nahim said. “Knowing very little at first of what the summit had to offer, from the small conversations I had with peers that did go, they all said the same thing that it was a great opportunity. As of late, I have been pursuing to grow personally and seeing this opportunity presented to me was a no-brainer to go and receive some knowledge that I may not get from anywhere else.”

For four days (May 21-24), the Black Student-Athlete Summit focused on a variety of topics.



“Some of the key themes emphasized throughout the summit were mental health, leadership development, identity & belonging and career preparation beyond sports,” Joseph said. “There was a strong emphasis on creating pathways to success that honor both academic and athletic excellence. We also talked about the importance of community, mentorship and advocating for equity within athletic departments and institutions. Overall, the themes were very inspiring and empowering.”

Of all of the highlights of the Black Student-Athlete Summit, it was the speakers who made the biggest impact. 

“There were a lot of amazing things that I enjoyed at the summit, from the kickback, to the deep talks, and the pro day,” Nahim said. “But out of all of them I found the pro day to be the best. Knowing that those people sharing their knowledge were once in my shoes and were able to find a way to get to where they are motivated me knowing that I have a shot. It drove my passion to succeed to the absolute highest level and for that I was more than happy I chose to go.”



Having returned from the Black Student-Athlete Summit, both Joseph and Nahim are excited to share what they gained with the rest of the SACS.

“What I gained from the summit can directly support the Student Athletes of Color for Success by bringing back resources, insights, and a renewed sense of purpose,” Joseph said. “I learned practical ways to advocate for ourselves, build stronger support networks, and push for more inclusive environments. By sharing these tools with the whole club will be able to empower each other, create a stronger sense of community and make sure every member feels supported both on and off the field.”

“Personally, I believe that there were three things that were brought up at the summit that anyone in the Student Athletes of Color for Success should take away with them,” Nahim said. “One, ‘Be selfish about prioritizing your own needs’ – Joshua Fredenburg. Two, ‘With confidence you have won before it even started, without it you doubled your chances of losing.’ And three, “Perspective can be your passport in your life” – KD Hill. Those three things I believe hit all the important takeaways from the summit that everyone can learn from in order to prosper in this life.”

Dutch captain Sabrina van der Sloot fights for equal rights in water polo

SINGAPORE – It may seem unthinkable now, but it took women’s water polo 100 years to make it to the Olympics since the sport made its debut at Paris 1900 as a men-only event. Even then, there were only six teams in the inaugural women’s competition at Sydney 2000, which was half of the 12 […]

SINGAPORE – It may seem unthinkable now, but it took women’s water polo 100 years to make it to the Olympics since the sport made its debut at Paris 1900 as a men-only event.

Even then, there were only six teams in the inaugural women’s competition at Sydney 2000, which was half of the 12 teams who competed in the men’s tournament. The number of women’s teams increased to eight from 2004 to 2016, then 10 in the 2020 and 2024 editions, before finally reaching parity at Los Angeles 2028.

But the fight for gender equality in the sport goes on, with Netherlands captain Sabrina van der Sloot one of the most vocal advocates.

Over the years, she has voiced out against salary differences between the men and women’s game at club level, and fought for more female representation among referees of the men’s game.

After the second-ranked Dutch beat world No. 15 New Zealand 14-9 on July 17 at the OCBC Aquatic Centre to set up a World Aquatics Championships (WCH) women’s water polo quarter-final against Olympic champions Spain on July 19, the 34-year-old said: “We have been in the game for so many years. If we don’t speak up, who else is going to do it?

“It’s our duty to stand up for the girls who come after us, to give them a better place to play water polo on a professional level. That they will get something back to work with, after putting so much of themselves in this sport and not retire with no money like us.”

Van der Sloot shared that women’s water polo players who have won Olympic medals “are lucky if they can earn €20,000 (S$29,800) a year”, which is what some non-national players make in the men’s game that can see annual salaries go up to six figures for star players.

Citing how the Paris 2024 women’s water polo final attracted a sell-out 15,000-strong crowd at the La Defense Arena, she said: “It’s not true that the men’s game is more spectacular. More people are watching the men’s game because they give it more time on TV and put more money in it.

“But if you are a real water polo lover, the women’s game is more tactical and something you can also enjoy watching.”

With just Italy’s Alessia Ferrari and Spain’s Marta Cabanas officiating in the men’s competition at the July 11-Aug 3 WCH, van der Sloot also hopes to see more female referees across the board.

The Olympic bronze medallist, who has also won WCH gold (2023), silver (2015) and bronze (2022), said: “Gender equality should apply in all aspects of the game. It’s not just about the money, it’s also about the people who make the decisions.

“It’s not true that the women’s game is easier to whistle. Maybe it’s not as fast, but we have swimsuits which opponents can grab, so it’s harder to make good decisions.”

She added: “Above all, we must promote water polo more on a global level, and go to countries where the sport is not so big to give them the support and infrastructure to make it grow there.”

Nevertheless, she acknowledged there have been improvements over the years, as more clubs are taking women’s water polo more seriously, and her Spanish club Sabadell try to “give the women’s team the same things as the men’s”.

WCH 2025 also offers the same prize pool of US$415,000 (S$533,000) for both the men and women’s competitions.

At the Tokyo Games in 2021, South Africa women’s coach Delaine Mentoor became the first woman to lead a water polo team at the Olympics, and three years later, Bec Rippon became the first female coach to guide a team to an Olympic water polo medal when she led Australia’s women to silver at Paris 2024.

Rippon, an Australian, said: “The movement to get women’s water polo in the Olympic Games, that was really led strongly by women everywhere, but particularly in Australia.

“People I know, and myself included, protesting and trying to push for what deserved as a sport, and to look where it’s come now… It’s just a privilege to be part of it.”

Meanwhile, in the other play-off matches on July 17, world No. 14 Japan stunned 11th-ranked Britons 23-10 to reach the last eight for the first time. The only Asian team in the quarter-final slate will take on the third-ranked Americans for a place in the semi-finals.

Calling it a “big, big success”, Japanese player Ai Sunabe said they will need more speedy swims to score against the US, adding: “We have to make sure we can score more goals.”

World No. 9 China, however, lost 13-11 to seventh-ranked Italy, who booked a quarter-final against world No. 4 Hungary. World Cup winners and fifth-ranked Greece thumped 10th-ranked France 23-9 to set up a last-eight meeting with world No. 6 Australia.

In the 13th-16th semi-finals, hosts Singapore endured a slow start when they trailed 3-12 at the start of the third quarter, although they ended strong to keep pace with Argentina before losing 9-18. They will meet South Africa, who were beaten 16-6 by Croatia, on July 19 in a battle to avoid the wooden spoon.

Koh Ting Ting, who scored a team-high three goals, said: “We tried to get as many exclusions (when a player fouls and has to sit out the game for a period of time) as we could and take advantage of the man up. Our team did well from the third quarter as we gathered ourselves, made space for each other and took the opportunity to shoot.”

Simone Biles took home two ESPY Awards, including her second Best Female Athlete honor, on Wednesday night at ESPN’s annual awards show surveying the world of sports.

Biles also received the award for Best Championship Performance for her gold medal-winning showing in the Olympic gymnastics all-around event.

NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander beat out Shohei Ohtani, Josh Allen and Saquon Barkley for Best Male Athlete. But Barkley ended the night with three trophies, including the one for Best NFL Player.

His Philadelphia Eagles were honored with the Best Team award, and the running back also won Best Play for his backwards hurdle of a Jacksonville Jaguars defender last fall.

Comedian Shane Gillis hosted the program and delivered an uneven monologue that left him wishing he could take back certain jokes. Cracks at President Donald Trump, Aaron Rodgers and Bill Belichick’s girlfriend got laughs, but he was caught mispronouncing Diana Taurasi’s name and got an uncomfortable reaction for a line about Caitlin Clark’s treatment in the WNBA.

“When Caitlin Clark retires from the WNBA, she’s going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most: fist-fighting Black women,” Gillis joked.

At the end of his monologue, Gillis said, “Well, I see a lot of you don’t like me and that’s OK. That’s it for me. That went about as well as we all thought it was going to go.”

Clark later received the Best WNBA Player award following her Rookie of the Year campaign in 2024. It was Clark’s third straight year with at least one ESPY, following back-to-back years winning in the Best College Athlete, Women’s Sports category.

Biles was named Best Female Athlete in 2017 following her dominant Olympic performance in Rio de Janeiro the year before. She received the honor once again after collecting gold medals at the 2024 Paris Games in the all-around, vault and team competitions.

The Olympics had a wide impact on the list of ESPY winners. Team USA rugby star Ilona Maher won Best Breakthrough Athlete, a bit of an upset in a category that included No. 1 NBA draft pick Cooper Flagg and Pittsburgh Pirates phenom Paul Skenes.

Maher helped the U.S. take home bronze in rugby sevens at the Paris Games. Her personality and messages about body positivity helped vault her into the national consciousness, and she appeared on “Dancing with the Stars,” finishing runner-up. She became the first rugby player to win an ESPY.

And Biles’ teammate, Suni Lee, won Best Comeback Athlete for overcoming two rare kidney diseases and winning three medals in Paris.

NBA legend Oscar Robertson was recognized with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage for his work as the NBA Players Association president to establish free agency in the 1970s.

Penn State volleyball coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley, a cancer survivor, received the Jimmy V Award in memory of the late basketball coach Jim Valvano.

Other winners Wednesday included:

Best College Athlete, Men’s Sports: Cooper Flagg, Duke basketball

Best College Athlete, Women’s Sports: JuJu Watkins, Southern California basketball

Best Athlete With a Disability: Noah Elliott, snowboarding

Best Record-Breaking Performance: Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record

Best NFL Player: Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles

Best MLB Player: Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers

Best NHL Player: Leon Draisaitl, Edmonton Oilers

Best NBA Player: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder

Best WNBA Player: Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever

Best Soccer Player: Christian Pulisic, AC Milan, U.S. men’s national team

Best Driver: Max Verstappen, F1

Best Golfer: Scottie Scheffler

Best Boxer: Katie Taylor

AUSTIN, Texas — University of Chicago junior jumper Aryan Shrivastava concluded a standout career for the University of Chicago men’s track and field team by earning 2nd-Team CSC Academic All-American honors, as announced by College Sports Communicators on Wednesday morning.

The Irvine, California native earned First Team All-America recognition in the Triple Jump at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships where he brought home a 7th-place finish with a mark of 15.03 meters, the third-best performance in school history in his first-ever appearance in the NCAA Championships.

In 2025 alone, Shrivastava claimed three University Athletic Association titles across the indoor and outdoor seasons, sweeping both the Indoor and Outdoor Triple Jump titles with marks of 14.33 meters and 14.12 meters, respectively. He also brought home the Indoor High Jump championship with a mark of 2.04 meters and added a 3rd-place finish in the Outdoor High Jump (1.93m), making a total of four podium finishes at the UAA level that year. His dominance was recognized with a pair of USTFCCCA All-Region honors in both the Triple jump and High jump, as he posted marks that ranked top 5 in the Midwest.

Over the course of his three years as a Maroon, Shrivastava has been a consistent point scorer for the Maroons, tallying 12 UAA point-scoring performances and earning podium finishes in both the Triple Jump and High Jump across multiple seasons. He also ranks third all-time in both the Indoor High Jump with a mark of 2.04 meters and the Outdoor High Jump with a mark of 2.00 meters, third in the Outdoor Triple Jump with a mark of 15.03 meters, and fourth in the Indoor Triple Jump with a mark of 14.33 meters.

Shrivastava is the 6th Academic All-American in program history and the first since 2022 as he helps extend the University of Chicago streak to 10 consecutive calendar years and 14 of the past 15 calendar years with an Academic All-American, dating back to 2011. He also improves the number of Academic All-Americans in 2025 to 11 for the Maroons, joining three men’s swimmers, two women’s swimmers, one women’s tennis player, three men’s tennis players, and one women’s track athlete. The 11 Academic All-Americans so far in 2025 are now tied for the most in a single calendar year in the history of UChicago athletics, tied with the 2020 season.

Elmore Autauaga News

The 2024-2025 school year saw a lot of successful athletic teams in Autauga County that advanced deep into their respective playoffs. But only one team in the county advanced to a state championship game and won it. That was the Prattville Christian Academy volleyball team. The Panthers won the Class 4A state championship in October 2024, clinching their second state championship in three years (the Panthers won Class 3A in 2022). As a result of the successful season, the Elmore Autauga News has named Prattville Christian Academy Volleyball Coach Kaylon Cantrell as Autauga County Volleyball Coach of the Year. 

“Winning another state championship was an incredible experience,” said Cantrell. “It’s something we worked for all season long, and to see it all come together in the end – it’s a moment I’ll remember for the rest of my life! Our theme for the season was MAKE IT MATTER, and our girls truly made it matter when it mattered most.”

While the state championship win over Alexandria clinched the 4A title, it was the semifinal victory over Madison County which might be the highlight of the season. After dropping the first two sets, the Panthers pulled a “reverse sweep,” winning each of the last three sets to advance to the 4A state championship game.

The 2024 Class 4A state champs won 45 games, which set a record for most wins in PCA history. Cantrell has won 356 games since becoming Head Coach in 2011 but 204 wins have come in the last six years.

The Panthers’ volleyball has experienced extended success recently under Cantrell:

2019 – Elite 8

2020 – Final 4

2022 – Class 3A State Champs

2023 – Elite 8

2024 – Class 4A State Champs

Under Coach Cantrell, the Panthers are also sending players to compete at the next level:

Class of 2021: Victoria Wheeler – Faulkner University

Class of 2022: Naomi Taake – Brewton Parker

Class of 2023: Hannah Jones – Memphis University then transferred to Ohio State University

Class of 2024: Bayleigh Seale – Chattanooga State

Class of 2025: Natalee Wheeler – Auburn University Montgomery

Cantrell has previously been recognized as Coach of the Year by other publications. In 2022, she was named Coach of the Year by the Central Alabama Scoreboard’s Volleyball Super 22. In 2024, she was named Class 4A Coach of the Year by al.com.

Kerri Walsh Jennings, a five-time Olympian and three-time gold-medalist, is to give a clinic at East Hampton High School Monday morning and play in a 6-on-6 pro-am at Montauk’s Kirk Park beach Tuesday.

Kerri Walsh Jennings, a five-time Olympian (and three-time gold medalist) from California, will be in town this week to give a youth volleyball clinic at East Hampton High School Monday morning that is to be followed by a pro-am beach volleyball tournament Tuesday at Kirk Park in Montauk.

Josh Brussell, who coaches East Hampton High’s boys varsity team and has worked as well with the girls varsity, said during a recent conversation at The Star that it was Jen Brabant who had persuaded Walsh Jennings, “one of the best beach volleyball players in the world, she’s absolutely incredible,” to come here. “I’m super excited — I never thought this would happen. This will be her first time here. . . . It’s a dream come true.”

“It will be a two-day thing,” he added. “The clinic” — for ages 11 to 18 — “will be a fund-raiser for her p1440 Foundation, and the pro-am tournament at Kirk Park on Tuesday will also have the Hampton Lifeguard Association as a beneficiary. . . . We’re setting up four courts on the grass next to the high school’s turf field for the clinic. If it rains, we’ll probably move into the gym, we’re saying ‘no rain.’ ” The cost is $350, though some scholarships may be available. Registration is at p1440.org.

At the 9 a.m. to noon clinic, “she’ll do volleyball training exercises and she’ll give a motivational talk about what it takes to be a champion. . . . She wants to bring the sport of volleyball up. . . . Her mission is to make volleyball be seen all the time.”

Brussell took his 14-year-old daughter, Rori, to a recent professional beach volleyball tournament at East Hampton Point, “the best-attended weekend event they’ve had to date, and she was thrilled — she loved it. She told me, ‘If Kerri can get me to serve the ball over the net, I’ll definitely do volleyball when I get to the high school this fall.’ My son, Kai, who’s 12 and has never been particularly into sports, asked after that tournament if he could start playing volleyball. . . . I’ve never seen anyone watch a volleyball game and not say ‘this is the greatest sport to watch.’ ”

“There will be a pro and a lifeguard on every team in Tuesday’s tournament. It will begin at 11 and go until 4 or 5. We’ll do 6-on-6, rather than 4-on-4, which will be kinder to the people who don’t play all the time.” Attendance is free, but donations will be accepted for the two beneficiaries.

Asked for names of some of the amateurs who will play in the pro-am, Brussell listed Kim Valverde, a former two-time collegiate all-American, Chris Botta, Clark Miller, Alex Lombardo, Melina Sarlo, Aaron Torres, Marcus Oransky, and Wyatt Zeledon, the latter three being players whom Brussell is coaching at the high school now.

Thursday through Sunday pickup beach volleyball games have been played at Atlantic Avenue Beach for years, said Brussell, who’s been in them since he was 15, “since Oceans first put a net up 30 years ago.”
