NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 06: Sadie Schreiner competes in the Women's 300m heats during the TCNJ Indoor Open at the Armory Track and Field Center on December 06, 2025 in New York City. Sadie Schreiner is a transgender sprinter who rose to prominence competing for the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), where she became a two-time NCAA Division III All-American in the 200m and 400m. Her achievements include setting a Liberty League championship meet record in the 400m with a time of 55.07 seconds. She began her transition during her senior year of high school, undergoing hormone therapy that significantly altered her physiology, including reducing muscle mass and lung capacity. Despite these changes, she continued to excel on the track. Schreiner’s collegiate athletic career has faced significant challenges following policy shifts by the NCAA and an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, which restricted transgender women from participating in women’s sports. As a result, Schreiner was barred from competing in NCAA events and faced difficulties transferring to Division I programs, as many institutions withdrew scholarship offers, and state laws barred transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports. Despite these setbacks, Schreiner remains committed to advocating for transgender inclusion in athletics and continues to seek out competition, even outside the U.S., where policies are more inclusive.
