The report said both times would have been last in the men’s races at the meet, but they were school records in the women’s category, according to the site that lists the results of the meet.
The 200-metre time is now a Liberty League conference women’s record (beating Schreiner’s own previous record of 24.50 set earlier this season), FOX said.
Schreiner was born a male named Camden and posted strong results in the male category previously.
Earlier this season, Schreiner also set a women’s school record in the 300 meters at the Nazareth Alumni Opener Invitational, running a 41.80.

“Out of all the hate that’s been shared of me ‘cheater’ is the most common word used… In my eyes, the discussion of trans inclusion in athletics shouldn’t even be a debate …” Schreiner wrote. “As more research is done the more evident this becomes. There’s a reason I’m only as fast as I was in middle school, and the only variable that’s changed over my 9 years of running is my medication …”
“Even as Olympic studies prove the disadvantages of trans athletes it’s not enough. Policies are being changed before research is done and the only way to stay educated in this process is to talk to the few trans athletes that are competing and hear their stories, bring them in to the conversation. The only way to make an educated decision on a small handful of athletes is to hear their voice, not speak for them.”
