  • Transgender track and field runner Sadie Schreiner is not competing in future women's track events for Rochester Institute of Technology amid a new NCAA policy.

The article discusses the situation of Sadie Schreiner, a transgender athlete who was set to compete for the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) women's track team. However, following an executive order by former President Donald Trump in 2020, which aimed to prevent transgender athletes from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity, Schreiner's participation was halted. The order was part of a broader policy to preserve what was described as "fairness" in women's sports, leading to significant debate and legal challenges. Schreiner, who had previously competed on the men's team, faced considerable backlash and scrutiny, highlighting the ongoing national conversation about transgender rights in sports. The article also touches on the emotional and psychological impact on Schreiner, who expressed feelings of exclusion and the desire to simply compete and be part of the team.
