A male runner has smashed two school records in female track and field events.
Collegiate track-and-field athlete Sadie Schreiner, a male who claims to be a “transgender female,” set two new records for the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in New York Friday.
Schreiner set the 200-meter record and qualified for the Atlantic Region Championship with a time of 25.27 seconds at the RIT January Friday Meet.
He also broke the 300-meter record with a 40.78-second finish.
“Crazy meet last weekend!” Schreiner posted on Instagram.
“Running till my legs give out.”
The sophomore, real mane Camden Schreiner, placed first in the 4×400-meter relay as well, earning a Liberty League Women’s Track & Field Performer of the Week award.

Sadie Schreiner placed first in the Women’s 200 and 300-meter races, with a time of 25.27 in the 200 and a time of 40.78 in the 300.
The 300-meter race time was over 2 seconds ahead of the first female runner and the 200-meter race time was one second ahead.
According to the school, Schreiner received an Atlantic Region Championship qualifying time.
For comparison, Schreiner’s times would have placed him in 18th place in the men’s 200-meter race, and 10th place in the men’s 300-meter race.
On December 8, 2023, Schreiner competed at a track meet at Nazareth University in New York, taking first place and setting the record of 41.80 in the women’s 300-meter race.
According to the Daily Mail, at the same meet one year prior, Schreiner placed 19th in the men’s 100-meter race.
The Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) denounced Schreiner’s performance in a post on X.
“Another male NCAA women’s record breaker Women’s records are for WOMEN!” ICONS wrote on X.

“What a joke,” wrote Taylor Silverman, another female athlete who has experienced competing against a male claiming to be “transgender.”

Olympian marathon runner Mara Yamauchi also weighed in, arguing that the purpose of allowing athletes to compete based on “gender identity” is to entertain male feelings.
“Same as in parkrun – males stealing female records which will probably be out of female hands forever,” Yamauchi said.
“All for what? To indulge men’s feelings.”
