As a runner, I'm thrilled federal officials are finally racing to save women's sports. The Trump administration, courts and Congress are all stepping up to stop the Biden initiatives.

Four years ago, we filed the first federal lawsuit of its kind in the nation, challenging our state’s athletic policy that allowed males to compete on the girls’ team.

All four of us lost to trans athletes who took away our victories and opportunities. Sports should provide extra college and career chances girls were denied.

For four years, I competed as a high school runner and made it to the state championships every one of those years. But in my junior year, I lost four of the state titles I earned to males who identified as females.
