Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas Nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Award

University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer Lia Thomas has been nominated for the NCAA’s Woman of the Year Award.

Thomas is one of 577 athletes nominated for the award, according to a release from the NCAA.

“Established in 1991, the award recognizes female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers,” the release read.

“As 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the NCAA Woman of the Year program is an important opportunity to honor and reflect on the impact of women on intercollegiate sports.” . . .

Thomas, who swam for the men’s swimming team for three years in NCAA Division I competition, got first place in the women’s 500-yard NCAA championship in March. (Read more from “Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas Nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Award” HERE)
