Biological male breaks two women’s collegiate track and field records, becomes women’s ‘performer of the week’

A biological male now holds two women’s track-and-field records at a university in New York.

Sadie Schreiner, formally known as Camden, set school records in both the 200- and 300-meter dash during Rochester Institute of Technology’s meet at the end of January. 

Schreiner qualified for the Atlantic Region Championship in the 200-meter dash with a record-setting time of 25.27 seconds.

In the 300-meter dash, Schreiner also broke the university’s previous women’s record, which he set in December, with a time of 40.78 seconds. 

The previous record holder, a female, was Caroline Hill, who had a time of 42.08.

Schreiner placed first in both events, bumping biological women from qualifying spots. He was also a competitor on his school’s winning 1,600 relay team in the women’s division.  

Former collegiate swimmer and women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines called out RIT for allowing biological men to compete against women. 

“The thing that never happens happened again,” Gaines posted on X. “Male, Sadie (Camden) Schreiner, broke two more women’s collegiate records at @RITtigers. Women’s records mean nothing if they’re set by men.” 

Following the meet, Schreiner was even named Liberty League Women’s Track and Field Performer of the Week.  

According to Libs of TikTok, Schreiner competed on the men’s team in 2022 where he was much less competitive, ranked 19^th in the 100-meter dash.
