Record-setting 'trans' runner says he has no advantage over girls

A reporter says a male's placement in three women's track and field events last weekend "paints a perfect picture of the stark contrast" between men's and women's athletic abilities.

At the Liberty League Championship – an all-conference meet for NCAA Division III women's track and field in upstate New York – Camden "Sadie" Schreiner of the Rochester Institute of Technology won two different events in first place and was also the anchor leg of the 4x400 that won by nearly three seconds.

He reportedly won the women's 400-meter event with a time of 55.07 and the 200-meter event at 24.14, which were school records in that category.

"What was interesting is if you look at the men's side, Schneider's times would have been dead last on the men's side for those exact same events," notes Tom Joyce, a reporter for the NewBostonPost.

"I think it just paints a perfect picture of the stark contrast in athletic ability between men and women when it comes to college sports, hence why men should not be competing against women, and they should be giving women a fair opportunity to compete against other women rather than having men come in with an unfair advantage and winning it all," Joyce adds.

Schreiner, however, recently posted on Instagram that he does not feel he has an "automatic advantage" over female athletes.

Meanwhile, six states have sued the Department of Education over the overhaul of Title IX, which is intended to give male athletes more protection in females' sports.
