Following a shift in NCAA eligibility rules, transgender track and field athlete Sadie Schreiner will no longer compete with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) women's team. An RIT representative confirmed to Fox News Digital that the program is adhering to the updated NCAA policy, which aligns with President Trump's executive order barring transgender women from competing in women's sports.

The spokesperson stated, "We are complying with the NCAA's transgender student-athlete participation policy, reflecting the Trump administration’s executive order. Sadie will not be participating in upcoming meets." This policy change, implemented shortly after Trump's executive order, explicitly prohibits biological males from competing on women's teams. While the policy allows for practice participation and access to team benefits for transgender women, RIT has not clarified Schreiner's current status with the team regarding practice or roster inclusion. Schreiner's profile remains on the team's website.

Schreiner's participation in women's track and field has drawn attention, particularly after the 2024 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championship. Despite finishing last in the 400-meter race, Schreiner's inclusion took a spot from a biological female competitor. Earlier, at the Liberty League Championship, Schreiner won the 200- and 400-meter races, even setting a new record in the 400-meter. However, this performance would have placed last in the men's competition. In a recent Instagram post, Schreiner boasted about a win, acknowledging performance issues but expressing determination for future competitions, using a transgender pride flag emoji.

Schreiner previously criticized states and colleges for not offering a full scholarship, citing laws in 25 states that restrict transgender athletes' participation in women's sports as a barrier. Schreiner stated, "The transfer process already has its challenges, but being transgender adds another layer. Half the country has banned me from competing, eliminating those colleges as options even if they offered a full scholarship." Schreiner also noted that even when coaches were supportive, college administrations often prevented participation. The new NCAA policy likely prevents Schreiner from competing on any women's college team but leaves open the possibility of joining a men's team, according to the policy's provision for participation regardless of assigned sex at birth or gender identity.
