Olympic champion Simone Biles called fellow female athlete Riley Gaines “sick” for her activism against trans athletes in women’s sports.

As Breitbart News reported this week, a transgender athlete helped a Minnesota high school girls’ softball team advance to the state championship after a standout performance, including two double hits while pitching a perfect game without substitution. The player, Marissa Rothenberger, had reportedly “been dominating Minnesota softball all season and “and brought “Champlin Park High’s girls’ softball team out of obscurity, where it has always been in the past.”

EUGENE, Ore– Oregon beach volleyball has a new head coach following the departure of Matt Ulmer several months ago.

On Friday, Oregon director of athletics Rob Mullens announced the hiring of Kristian Kuld as the program’s newest lead at the helm.

In 11 seasons as an assistant coach for the Long Beach State beach volleyball team, Kuld helped The Beach to five NCAA/AVCA Championship appearances as well as more than 225 wins and seven top-10 finishes.

He will take over the program ahead of construction of new beach volleyball courts and locker rules that are apart of the Hamilton Walton Transformation Project.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kristian to Eugene as the next leader of Oregon beach volleyball,” Mullens said. “This is an exciting time for our program and we are looking forward to having Kristian on board, as he brings tremendous experience and knowledge in the sport of beach volleyball and has competed at the highest levels during his time as both a player and a coach. His dedication to providing a first-class student-athlete experience aligns perfectly with our values.”

“I am incredibly honored and excited to join the University of Oregon as the new beach volleyball head coach,” Kuld said. “I am deeply grateful to Rob Mullens and the rest of the UO administration for the opportunity to lead this program into an exciting new era. I look forward to contributing to the strong tradition of athletic excellence at Oregon and building something special together. I can’t wait to get started. Go Ducks!”

This is the first time since the 2016 season that Oregon has had two different coaches leading both Oregon volleyball & beach volleyball.

Last season the Ducks finished 8-20 and ended the season on a three-game losing streak.
