IcabodMen (?) in women's sports
Think we see some of the motivation here.
“CeCe Telfer clinched the women's 400-meter hurdles national title at the 2019 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field”
“ Telfer was born and raised as Craig and competed on the men's team at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire from 2016 to 2018, even though she personally identified as a woman.
In the 2016-2017 season, Telfer was not even in the top 200 male athletes in her event.
Her last competition as Craig was in January 2018, when she finished eighth in a field of nine in the Men's 400 meters at the Middlebury Winter Classic in Vermont.”
“ Robert Johnson broached the topic in a column for Let'sRun.com, writing: 'The fact that Telfer can change her gender and immediately become a national champion is proof positive as to why women's sports needs protection.
'Telfer ran slightly faster in the 400 hurdles competing as a man (57.34) than as a woman (57.53), even though the men's hurdles are six inches taller than the women's hurdles.
'Yet when Telfer ran 57.34 as a man, she didn't even score at her conference meet — she was just 10th at the Northeast-10 Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 2016. ”
