Family ties fuel Texas aluminum canoe duo to top state ranking
Pat Petrisky of Port Lavaca and Trimble, now in Corpus Christi, form the No. 1 aluminum canoe team in Texas. They’ve dominated the Texas Canoe Racing Association points this summer and qualified for the national championships July 6 in Illinois. The Water Safari from San Marcos to Seadrift tests endurance as Petrisky targets first in the Aluminum Canoe Division while Trimble also races in the kayak division. Their story traces back to early inspiration from the Water Safari, shared roots, and a lifelong friendship that blends family and sport.

NCAA comments warn Title IX rules may end current intercollegiate sports
Washington AP reports NCAA representative Michael Scott warned the new Title IX regulations could threaten the existence of intercollegiate programs as known, unless football and basketball revenues are explicitly treated as supporting all sports. HEW Secretary Caspar Weinberger defended the rules, saying they target discrimination while preserving college life, with Congress given 45 days to act and July 21 as the effective date absent rejection. Schools must ensure equal opportunities for men and women in intramural, interscholastic, and intercollegiate athletics.
