The controversial Lia Thomas, who is also known as the University of Pennsylvania swimmer who became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I national championship, has lost a bid to become the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year.
In an expression of relief and celebratory mood, the NCAA officials announced during its conference selections last 25 July, that Columbia University fencer Sylvie Binder has been selected to advance to the next round as the Ivy League conference winner.
The University of Pennsylvania previously drew backlash after nominating Thomas for the award. Eligible schools could nominate up to two female athletes. There were 577 nominees for this year’s award.
Binder, who was one of eight athletes nominated from The Ivy League conference, was an NCAA Women’s Foil Champion in 2019, according to Fox News. She placed third at the NCAA Championships this season with an overall record of 17-6 and was received the 2022 Women’s Connie S. Maniatty Award as Columbia's top senior student-athlete.
More importantly, Binder is a biological woman, not that it matters to some liberal activist.
