Caroline Hill First Rit -holdmate to talk about Trans -Aatlet Sadie Schreiner

EXCLUSIVE: Caroline Hill rejected several divisions in Women’s Track and Field fellow to compete for Division III Rochester Institute of Technology.

Her talents allowed her to break the program record in 200 meters and 300 meters early in her collegiate career. But then she had to see both posts fall to transcend teammate Sadie Schreiner, all as she felt “unpleasant”, sharing a dressing room with her Trans teammate for the next two years.

Even after Schreiner was guided unjustly to compete when NCAA changed his transient policy on February 6, Hill claims Schreiner continued to use the woman’s closet and train with the team for another month. Rit has refused to comment on Hill’s claims.

Now Hill is the first of Schreiner’s former Rit teammates to talk about the experience. Hill previously joined Riley Gaines’ lawsuit against NCAA in 2023 – Schreiner’s first official year on his team – as an anonymous plaintiff. But now she has come forward to put her name down.

Hill claims that she and her teammates were introduced to Schreiner as their future teammate in 2022. Schreiner did not officially start competing until 2023.

“He practiced a little with us during the forecast,” Hill said of the situation in 2022. Pakinomist Digital was unable to verify why Schreiner was not officially competing for Rit in 2022.

When Schreiner began to compete the following year, Hill claims that the two of them were paired as “training buddies” by their coaches.

“We were expected to train friends because we are both ‘women’ on the women’s team running the same events,” Hill said.

“Personally I saw it as ‘this is not fair. This is definitely unfair’ … the expectation was that we are equal and it was perceived as equals by the coach. That was what I had a harder time with.”

Hill even made it a point to protest the situation against her coach and administrators, but to no avail. Hill even claims that Jacqueline Nicholson, Rit Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, told her and the other women on the team that Schreiner had “less testosterone” than some of them.

“I had a couple of conversations with her. She was very firm that ‘this is what ncaa enforce. We support it,'” said Hill. “We even had a meeting with the women on the team where she approached us and said, ‘We support this athlete competing on the team. Some of you women have more testosterone than he does,’ which made it seem like it was quite fair and like we had a problem with it, it wasn’t ok. It was very, very hard.”

Hill said her conversation with her sprint coach was also useless.

“I was very vulnerable and expressed my feelings over the male athlete who competed and trained with us. And he wasn’t very empathetic,” Hill said. “He tried kind of to reduce my thoughts and it was a lot of deflection. It’s like, ‘Well, we shouldn’t focus on it.'”

Hill also claims that other women on the team supported to compete with Schreiner.

“Many of my teammates, UM, supported a lot for this athlete who competed and train with us,” Hill said.

In Schreiner’s second year on the team in 2024, Trans Athlete broke Hill’s program record of 300 meters, where she cleared Hill’s earlier record, which she set her second year in 2022, with 1.42 seconds.

At the beginning of 2025, the Schreiner program recorded the record in 200 meters with a 24.46, Besting Hill’s best time of 25.82, which she set that year. She ranks just behind Schreiner for the second best in the program history.

While Hill had to see Schreiner breaking her collegial records on the field, an even more personal dilemma was expecting her in the dressing room.

“I remember one day, I think I was changing, and suddenly this athlete is just in the dressing room, and being very just shocked and kind of mortified obviously because it’s uncomfortable to have a man in the closet room. And then his closet was right next to mine,” Hill said. “It’s a bit of a social area, but he really didn’t talk to anyone.”

Hill also said Schreiner never changed in the women’s dressing room. Still, Hill said she was actively trying to avoid changing in front of Schreiner, but that wasn’t always an option.

“If he was like standing there and doing something or anything, I would kindly wait for him to be somewhere else before I changed,” Hill said. “Or there were times when I did, but I just wanted to change as soon as I could and you know I was able to just like to suck it up, I assume. Not that I should have had to do it.”

Hill spent the two years of his college career sharing these spaces and competitions with Schreiner. After President Donald Trump signed “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order on February 5, which aimed to stop situations such as the one at Rit, the NCAA complied with the next day and changed his policy to allow only biological women to compete as women.

Hill said the coaches never officially informed the female athletes that Schreiner would not compete with them anymore.

Rit delivered a statement to Pakinomist Digital on February 12, which reads: “We will continue to follow the NCAA participation policy for transcend student athletes after the Trump Administration’s executive order. Sadie does not attend the next meeting.”

However, Hill claimed that this did not mean the end of seeing Schreiner in the dressing room or on practice.

“He still changed with us and all that. I was kind of confused,” Hill said. “Using our coaches, our facilities, our resources during a practice, even if the rules had been changed. So it didn’t end with the rule change. He continued to train with us. Not that we train friends but he was always there at the same time as I was … I would say a month after [the rule change]”

Schreiner’s lawyer, Susie Cirilli of Cirilli LLC, told Pakinomist Digital, “We don’t respond at this time,” in response to a request for comment on Hill’s statement.

Eventually, Schreiner made efforts to compete in non-NCAA-sanctioned events.

Schreiner competed on the US Track & Field Open Masters Championships on March 1 in New York.

There, Schreiner took first place in the women’s 400 meters strike and 200 meters strike.

Weeks after this, Schreiner published an Instagram video that claimed to have competed in Schreiner’s last organized Tracks meet In the United States after an USATF event in Maine.

“I’ve probably just run what will be my last meeting in the United States,” Schreiner said, adding later, “I will find a way to continue to compete, but I doubt it will be in the US.”

Schreiner said USATF changed his policy of transgender eligibility from the one used by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which allows biological men to compete in the female category to the one used by World Athletics, which forbids any athlete who has undergone male puberty from competing as a woman. USATF’s official transgender policy policy is now referring to the world’s athletics guidelines on its official website. It previously referred to IOC’s policy as seen in an archive via Wayback machine.

In July, Schreiner brought a lawsuit against Princeton University after the school allegedly excluded the athlete from a women’s race on May 3.

Schreiner’s trial claimed that the athlete was trying to participate in the women’s 200 -meter sprint at Larry Ellis Invitational as one of the 141 participants who were not attached to A university or club. In the case, officials claimed Schreiner told the athlete could not attend 15 minutes before the race began.

“The actions of the two Princeton officials were in obvious and intentional ignoring of Sadie’s rights based on Sadie’s rights as a transgender woman under the control of the New Jersey law and thus causing Sadie Schreiner to a clear emotional and physical injury,” the trial claimed.

Cirilli delivered an exclusive statement to Pakinomist Digital about Schreiner’s lawsuit against Princeton.

“The action of the two Princeton officials was in obvious and intentional ignoring of Sadie’s rights as a transgender woman under the control of the New Jersey Act,” the statement reads. “The actions of the defendants were completely intolerable in a civilized society and goes beyond the possible decency limits.”

Meanwhile, Hill, after graduating from Rit with a degree in graphic design, pushes forward as a now-public member of Gaines vs. NCAA Case.

Hill said fear of retaliation from fellow students at school and elsewhere prevented her from talking to the situation earlier. But now that the culture in America has changed, Hill proudly puts his name out there as a spokesman to protect women’s sports.

“I was definitely a little worried about being on campus when I was on my team, UM, with administration that felt strong, I get that they were against the trial … I was a little worried about my own security and that things could escalate in a way that I couldn’t foresee,” Hill said.

“I feel like it is worth coming forward 1754834737 Just because I have the ability to use what has happened to me as a way of showing that women are being hurt, for female athletes … Is it scary to put yourself out there because I’m sure there are a lot of girls out there who feel like they can’t and don’t have a voice.

“NCAA has certainly done it, so they, many women and girls don’t want to speak out, so I will do it.”

Hill calls for Rit to apologize to her and reintroduce her as a program record holder for 200- and 300-meter.
