MV Pasha Bulker got stranded on Australia’s Newcastle coast in 2007. The crew was rescued, but the boat was stuck for 25 days. It was finally refloated and then repaired and renamed the MV Drake. Newcastle is named after Newcastle on Tyne in England, the latter being famous for its beer.
The College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has released the All-Americans for the 2021-22 season and has granted the 9th and 17th place prelim finishers in events including Lia Thomas (100, 200, & 500 freestyle) first & second-team status respectively.
So CSCCAA is taking a rather curious stance on transgender swimmer Lia Thomas.
