  She's a two-time All American in 200- and 400-meter races. A college athlete used to winning, with a goal of making the 2032 US Olympic team. But 21-year-old Sadie Schreiner says she feels "defeated."

The article from CNN discusses the case of Sadie Schreiner, a transgender woman who was barred from competing in women's track and field events by the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Schreiner, who competed for Rochester Institute of Technology, expressed disappointment and frustration over the NAIA's decision, which she believes unfairly targets transgender athletes. The NAIA's policy, which was implemented to ensure competitive fairness, prohibits transgender women from participating in women's sports unless they have undergone hormone therapy for a specified period and meet certain testosterone level criteria. Schreiner argues that this policy not only discriminates against transgender athletes but also contradicts the inclusive values of sports. The article also touches on the broader debate surrounding transgender participation in sports, highlighting the tension between inclusivity and competitive equity. Legal and advocacy groups are mentioned as potentially challenging the NAIA's policy in court, reflecting the ongoing national conversation about transgender rights in athletics.
