PITTSBURGH — Raiden Hung can’t imagine a life without gymnastics. And to be honest, he doesn’t want to.

There’s always been something about the sport that’s called to him. Something about flipping. Something about the discipline it requires. Something about the mixture of joy and calm he feels whenever he steps onto a mat.

“It keeps me sane, I guess,” the 21-year-old student at Northeastern University in Boston said. “Gymnastics is the love of my life basically.”

The hours in the gym have long served as a constant for Hung. The one thing he can always depend on. The one place where he can truly feel like himself.

Still, Hung feared he would be forced to give up gymnastics when he realized in his late teens that he was non-binary. He had identified as female most of his life and competed in women’s events growing up. He says he now identifies as trans-masculine.

Part of Hung’s transition included beginning hormone replacement therapy, something he considered putting off over worries that it meant he would no longer be able to compete.

“It was sort of like, ‘Do I have to make a choice?’” Hung said. “And that would have probably been awful for my mental stability, like having to choose between the two.”

The National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs gave Hung safe harbor. The stated mission of the steadily growing organization that includes more than 2,500 athletes and 160 clubs across the country is to provide a place for college and adult gymnasts to continue competing while “pushing the boundaries of the sport.”

That includes, but is hardly limited to, being as gender-inclusive as possible.

During local NAIGC meets, for example, there are no gender categories. Athletes compete against every other athlete at their designated skill level, which can run from novice / developmental routines to ones that wouldn’t look out of place at an NCAA Division I meet.

Gymnasts can also hop on whatever apparatus they want. Women on parallel bars. Men on the balance beam. Just about anything goes. At its annual national meet, the NAIGC even offers the “decathlon,” which allows athletes of all gender identities to compete against each other across all 10 disciplines — six in men’s, four in women’s — of artistic gymnastics.

“(We want) people to be able to continue doing gymnastics into adulthood in a way that feels comfortable and safe and supportive for them,” said Ilana Shushanky, NAIGC’s director of operations.

A CHALLENGING CLIMATE

The approach comes as transgender athletes find themselves the target of increasingly heated rhetoric.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February that gave federal agencies wide latitude to ensure entities that receive federal funding abide by Title IX in alignment with the Trump administration’s view, which interprets “sex” as the gender someone was assigned at birth. A day later, the NCAA said it would limit competition in women’s sports to athletes who were assigned female at birth.

The message to the transgender community at large was clear: You do not belong here. Several trans and/or non-binary members of the NAIGC, which is independently run and volunteer-led and does not rely on federal money to operate, felt it.

Multiple trans or non-binary athletes who spoke to The Associated Press said they pondered quitting following last fall’s election, despondent over what at times feels like an increasingly hostile environment toward their community.

None did. One viewed stepping away as ceding power over a part of who they are to someone else. Another pointed to the social aspect of gymnastics and how vital the feeling of acceptance in their home gym was to maintaining proper mental and emotional health.

“Part of my identity is as an athlete and to see myself as strong and able to do hard things,” said Wes Weske, who is non-binary and previously competed in the decathlon before recently graduating from medical school. “I think (gymnastics) really helped my self-image and was just an important part of understanding myself.”

A SENSE OF NORMALCY

That sense of belonging was everywhere at the NAIGC’s national competition in early April. For three days, more than 1,700 athletes, including a dozen who registered their gender as “other,” turned a convention center hall in downtown Pittsburgh into what could best be described as a celebration.

Not just of gymnastics. But of diversity. And inclusion. It all looked and felt and sounded like any other large-scale meet. Cheers from one corner following a stuck dismount. Roars from another corner encouraging a competitor to hop back up after a fall.

For Hung and the 11 “other” competitors allowed to choose whether to compete in the men’s or women’s divisions, nationals provided the opportunity to salute the judges and stand alongside their teammates while being seen for who they really are.

When Hung dismounted from his uneven bars routine, several members of Jurassic Gymnastics, the all-adult competitive team based in Boston that Hung joined, came over to offer a hug, pep talk or both.

The group included Eric Petersen, a 49-year-old married father of two teenagers who competed on the men’s team at the Air Force Academy 30 years ago. He now dabbles in women’s artistic gymnastics alongside Hung at Jurassic.

“Certain people want to convince people that this is a big issue and people are losing their (minds),” Petersen said. “But it’s not like that. Other groups can be uptight about that if they want. But in this group, it’s about the love of the sport. If you love the sport, then do the sport and have fun, no matter who you are.”

FINDING THEIR WAY

Ten Harder got into gymnastics after being inspired by watching Gabby Douglas win gold at the 2012 Olympics. They spent their childhood competing as a woman but became increasingly uncomfortable at meets as they grew older.

Harder, 22, now a Ph. D. student at Boston University who identifies as nonbinary / trans masculine, felt like they had to make their own path. They connected on TikTok with a nonbinary gymnast from the Netherlands and started competing in a uniform that felt more natural, a practice leotard similar to a tank top and shorts. Over the last couple of years, they have run across other nonbinary or queer athletes, easing their sense of loneliness.

While there are times Harder admits they still grapple with feeling self-conscious about their gender identity even around teammates who have become friends and allies, there is also something greater at play.

“I think it’s important to remember that trans athletes are just people, too,” he said. “We deserve to be in the sports that we love. And we deserve to get a chance to compete and do everything just as other people do.”

With the competition went down to the final league event of the 2024-25 academic year, Hope College emerged as the winner of the MIAA Commissioner’s Cup for the fifth consecutive time and for a league-record 41st year.

Totaling 145.5 points over three athletic seasons, Hope edged runner-up Calvin University by one point in the closest finish since Hope topped Calvin by a one-point margin during the 2009-10 school year.

The MIAA Commissioner’s Cup is awarded based on the cumulative performance of member schools in 18 men’s and women’s league-sponsored sports.

Hope held off Calvin thanks to seven outright regular-season titles, one co-championship and two clutch performances this spring.

In men’s sports, Hope finished as the league champion in football, men’s lacrosse and men’s golf, and co-champion in men’s soccer. In women’s sports, Hope claimed league titles in volleyball, women’s swimming and diving, women’s lacrosse and women’s tennis.

Hope created key late point swings in softball and men’s golf.

In softball, the Flying Dutch swept a doubleheader from Calvin in the regular-season finale on May 3, forcing a three-way tie between Hope, Calvin and Kalamazoo College that garnered each team six points. If Calvin had swept the Flying Dutch, Hope would have finished in sixth place and earned just four points.

In men’s golf, the Flying Dutchmen overcame an early eight-stroke deficit on May 7-8 at Bella Vista Golf Course in Coldwater to win the MIAA Spring Finale and secure an outright league championship that earned nine points. Entering the 36-hole MIAA Spring Finale, Hope held a 10-stroke lead over Trine University and a 19-stroke lead over Calvin after 72 holes last fall.

Trine placed third in the overall standings with 138 points and was followed by Adrian College and Albion (tied for fourth with 102.5 points apiece), Kalamazoo College (89.5), Alma College (75), The University of Olivet (60.5) and Saint Mary’s College (34.5).

In men’s sports, Hope topped the MIAA with 73.5 points, followed by Calvin (72), Trine (67.5), Albion (56), Adrian (54), Kalamazoo (45.5), Alma (42) and Olivet (39).

In women’s sports, Hope totaled 72 points, trailing only Calvin (72.5). Trine had the third-most with 70.5, followed by Adrian (48.5), Albion (46.5), Kalamazoo (44), Saint Mary’s (34.5), Alma (33) and Olivet (21.5).

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – North Dakota State’s Sam Roller advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the javelin on Wednesday afternoon, headlining the action for the Bison men’s track & field team at the NCAA West Preliminary Rounds.

Roller (Thompson, N.D.) threw 231-1 (70.43m) on his final attempt, setting a career-best by three feet. He ultimately finished eighth in the meet, with the top 12 finishers earning qualifying spots to the NCAA Championships in Eugene on June 11.

Roller became the fifth Bison ever to surpass 70 meters in the javelin.

Senior Zack Ramos finished 19th in the shot put with a throw of 60-00.50 (18.30m) – an improvement of 16 places over his seed entering the meet.

Bison sophomore Jayden Williams placed 27th in the long jump for his NCAA Prelims debut, posting a mark of 23-11 (7.29m).

In the 110m hurdles, Blake Nyenati (13.92) finished 28th, Brooks Turner (13.96) took 32nd, and Brock Johnsen (14.20) was 40th. The trio concludes the season ranked first, second and fourth, respectively, in NDSU history.

Javelin-to-NCAAs Pipeline
Roller’s NCAA Championships appearance will be the 10th for the North Dakota State men in the javelin over the past 10 seasons.

Team USA started strong with Daniel and Madison Mack building a 2-0 lead to open the match. After Canada scored, Segesman hit on a power play to close the quarter up 3-1. Canada cut the deficit to one in the second quarter at 4-3. Team USA then ran off four in a row from Juliana Horton, Addison Ting, Daniel and Campbell Pence for an 8-3 edge. Horton closed the high scoring period with a power play strike to give the United States a 9-4 advantage at the break.

Horton is a freshman at Santa Barbara High School while Jade Pattison is a defender from San Marcos High School. Both play for Santa Barbara 805 Water Polo Club.

The United States took control of the match in the third with another six girl outburst, including two more from Daniel, to build a 15-5 lead. Kiernan Hogan opened the scoring for Team USA in the fourth quarter for a 16-6 lead. Segesman finished off the scoring late in the period as Team USA rolled to the 18-7 victory. The United States went 6/14 on power plays and 2/3 on penalties while Canada went 1/9 on power plays and 0/1 on penalties.

How the championship works

Six 54-hole regional tournaments will be conducted to determine the 30 qualifying teams and six individuals (not on those qualifying teams) who will compete in the finals. Thirteen teams and 10 individuals (not on those teams) will compete at each of three regionals while the other three regionals will have 14 teams and five individuals (not on those teams). The low five teams and the low individual not on those teams will advance to the finals.

All 30 teams and six individuals will complete 54 holes of stroke play. Following 54 holes of competition, the top 15 teams along with the top nine individuals not on an advancing team will advance for one additional day of stroke play to determine the top eight teams for match-play competition and the 72-hole stroke-play individual champion. The top eight teams after 72 holes of play will be placed into a bracket thereafter.

In team match-play competition, a total of five points will be available with one point being awarded for each individual match. Winning teams will advance to the semifinals and subsequently, the finals. The first team to win three points within the team match will advance, or in the case of the final match, be declared the national champion.

WAUWATOSA, WI (CBS 58) – After a year filled with ups and downs, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee’s Natalie Block is back in the NCAA Track and Field West Preliminary Round.

Block made both the 100-meter hurdle and 400-meter hurdle races down in College Station, Texas. Block did the same thing a year ago, qualifying for the 400-meter semifinals before injury forced her to withdraw.

The Franklin native stepped back on the track this spring and is coming off two more Horizon League Championships. She races with newfound perspective.

“When it comes to the track, I’m grateful to be here. This is a great experience and so I think taking that pressure off a little bit of having an expectation or I got to hit this time, I got to hit this time like nah – I’m here to have fun and I’m here to do what I want to do and at the end of the day if you’re following your passion and you’re having fun, the times are going to be there,” said Block.

On Thursday, May 29, Block runs in the 100-meter hurdles quarterfinals round race at 6:00pm and the 400-meter hurdle race at 7:25pm.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Coastal Carolina senior first baseman Georgia Hood has been named to the 2025 National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America Third Team, the association announced Wednesday.

Hood becomes just the second player in program history to earn All-America honors, joining Meagen Johnson, who was selected in 2006. She is one of 54 student-athletes named to this year’s team.

The Mount Gambier, Australia, native had a standout season at the plate, leading the Chanticleers in batting average (.430), hits (64), RBIs (51), slugging percentage (.866), and on-base percentage (.548). She recorded 19 multi-hit games and 15 multi-RBI performances, and drove in the game-winning run in 13 contests.

Nationally, Hood ranked 22^nd in on-base percentage and 25^th in home runs. Within the Sun Belt Conference, she led in slugging percentage, ranked second in home runs, and was third in both batting average and on-base percentage.

Her season was highlighted by several key performances, including a three-run homer in the season opener against Creighton on Feb. 7, a walk-off single against Notre Dame on Feb. 14, and a season-high five RBIs in a 3-for-3 game versus Kennesaw State on Feb. 23. She also hit back-to-back home runs in two games, including a four-RBI effort against Appalachian State on May 3, and delivered decisive home runs to clinch series wins over Georgia State on April 12 and Texas State on March 22.

Hood helped lead Coastal Carolina to its first-ever Sun Belt Conference Championship title and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2012. Her honors also include being named Sun Belt Player of the Week, earning a spot on the All-Sun Belt second team, and being selected to the NFCA All-Region first team.
