Transgender -Runner Sadie Schreiner sues Princeton University after the school allegedly excluded the athlete from a women’s race 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 not linked to a university or club. In the case, officials claimed Schreiner told the athlete could not attend 15 minutes before the race began.
“I don’t want to assume, but you’re transgender,” a Princeton official allegedly told Schreiner, according to the complaint.

“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 New Jersey law, thus causing Sadie Shreiner to a clear emotional and physical injury,” the trial claimed.
Schreiner claims that the university violated the New Jersey law against discrimination, which designates “gender identity or expression” as a protected status.
Pakinomist Digital has reached Princeton University for a response.
Schreiner previously competed for the Rochester Institute of Technology’s (Rit) Women’s Track and Field Team and got national notoriousness to dominate female opponents and frequent social media videos that boast it as an open transcend competitor.
However, Schreiner was established unjustly to compete for Rit after NCAA revised his gender eligibility policy on February 6, one day after President Donald Trump signed “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order on February 5.
Rit provided a statement to Pakinomist Digital Confirmation of this on February 12th.
“We continue to follow the NCAA participation policy for transient student athletes after the Trump administration’s executive order. Sadie does not attend the next meeting,” the statement states.
Schreiner then competed on the US Track & Field Open Masters Championships on March 1st.
There competed Schreiner in the women’s 400-meter strike and 200 meters strike and occupies first place in both events.
Schreiner won by default 400 meters as default as the other participants in the eventAnna Vidolova and Amaris Hiatt, had no recorded times and was listed as DNS (did not start).
In the 200-meter strike, Schreiner defeated 14-year-old Runner-Up Zwange Edwards, 16-year-old third place Zariah Hargrove, 15-year-old Leah Walker and 18-year-old Ainsley Rausch. This event also had several participants listed as DNS, including 18-year-old Jordan Carr, 46-year-old Amanda Taylor, Vidolova again and 16-year-old Paula Damiens.

Weeks after this, however, Schreiner sent an Instagram video that claimed to have competed in Schreiner’s last organized 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 the IOCS policy as seen in an archive via Wayback machine.
Schreiner has been a controversial figure in women’s freedom in the past year, especially after a performance of the 2024 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships in May.
Earlier that month, Schreiner competed at the Liberty League championship and won both the women’s 200 and 400-meter and broke the 400-meter record in the process. Schreiner would be ended last with more than two seconds in men’s competition.

At the end of January, Schreiner boasted after winning an event against female opponents.
“Not the race I was looking for at all this week, my spikes almost fell off on swing, and with a bad start my time wasn’t almost what I wanted,” the runner wrote in an Instagram post.
“The good news is that the season just started and I want to leave everything on the field at Nationals,” Schreiner added with a transgender pride flag emoji.
On January 17, Schreiner took first place in the 200- and 400-meter strikes at Brockport Friday Night Rust Buster and took top places over two female seniors. In the 200-meter strike, Schreiner Rit teammate Caroline Hill beat by 1.5 seconds and took first place in the 400-meter strike from Brockport’s Marissa Wise with almost 3.5 seconds. Schreiner’s results automatically obtained qualification for the all-Atlantic regional course and field championships.
On January 24, Schreiner took first place in the 200 meter strike at Rit Friday Meet and beat the Liberty League Junior Lexi Rodriguez from Brockport with an even faster time. On January 30, the Schreiner took first place in the 200 and 400-meter strikes against the Liberty League opponents.

Schreiner too spoke out Against states and colleges that do not offer the trans -athlete a full scholarship as Schreiner would transfer in December. The athlete accused laws in 25 say forbids trans athletes to compete with girls and women.
“Among all the obstacles that usually have, there is an extra layer because it is trans, 50% of the country forbade me to participate, and that meant I couldn’t attend any of these colleges, even if they reached me with a full trip,” Schreiner said.
“It also became clear that it was doing, no matter how firm the coaches should have me on their team, university administrations would usually prevent them from letting me participate.”
