A transgender runner “won” the women’s 400-meter dash after his two female competitors refused to take part in the race.
During the March 1 USA Track and Field (USATF) Open Masters Championships in New York, so-called “transgender” runner Sadie Schreiner “won” first place in the women’s 400-meter dash. However, the 21-year-old male only won because the competition because 17-year-old Anna Vidolova and 16-year-old Amaris Hiatt refused to run against him.
Both Vidolova and Hiatt were marked as “DNS,” which means “did not start,” while Schreiner “won” with a time of 56.74 seconds, which is a personal best for him. The male athlete competed as “unattached,” meaning an athlete with no team.
So this happened moments ago at a Track Meet in New York.
A male athlete entered the 400m race against two women and neither of those women bothered to run the race.
The man ran alone and it counts as the women’s result.

However, Schreiner did compete in other events against women, which he also won. He took first place in the 200-meter race, while 14-year-old Zwange Edwards came in second, 16-year-old Zariah Hargrove came in third. Leah Walker, 15, and Ainsley Rausch, 18, also took part in the competition, according to Fox News.
Vidolova also refused to run in the 200-meter race against Schreiner, as did several other female competitors, including 18-year-old Jordan Carr, 46-year-old Amanda Taylor, and 16-year-old Paula Damiens.
USATF policy allows so-called “transgender” athletes to compete in the women’s division, as it complies with International Olympic Committee policies. However, the USATF does require that “certain medical benchmarks be achieved before an athlete may compete as the opposite gender for medals, prize money and other benefits.”
Schreiner, whose real name is Camden, competed as a male in high school before “transitioning” and joining the girls’ Rochester Institute of Technology’s track and field team. His times racing while pretending to be a woman would barely register against male athletes. According to The Post Millennial, “Schriener previously came under fire while competing for Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) after breaking numerous records in the 2023-24 indoor season. In the 2024 outdoor track season, Schriener won multiple women’s races in times that would have seen the athlete place last among the men.”
Male athletes are so talented! We see their triumphs frequently in women's cycling, but they're also super good at women's track & field.
Sadie Schreiner had a poor start and his spikes almost fell off, but he still won on Friday!

Popular X account Libs of TikTok previously called out Schreiner for his actions, writing: “Meet Camden. A male who just broke the women’s 300m record on his college’s women’s track team. Before he pretended to be a woman, he competed on the men’s team in highschool where was ranked in 19th place. Why is @RITtigers allowing a man to steal women’s track records.”
