ATLANTA — Lia Thomas took control in the final 100 yards of the 500-yard freestyle to make history Thursday as the first transgender woman to win an NCAA swimming championship.

Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania senior who entered the NCAA women’s swimming and diving championships as the top seed, had a season-best time of 4 minutes, 33.24 seconds.

“I didn’t have a whole lot of expectation for this meet,” said Thomas, a former male swimmer for Penn State. “I was just happy to be here and race and compete the best I could.”

Virginia’s Emma Weyant was second at 4:34.99.

Thomas also is the top seed in the 200 freestyle Friday and is the 10th seed in the 100 freestyle Saturday.

Absolute abomination and tragedy.

I hope (but know it won’t happen) that the NCAA puts an asterisk by this record.

“transgender” is a politically correct term for “fake”.

We told everybody this stuff would happen years ago when this crap first raised it’s ugly head.

Nobody listened.

Now they pretend it’s ‘normal’...................

transgender woman. former male. Check the dna and see what pops up. Just sayin’. Chopping off parts doesn’t alter that. Adding parts doesn’t alter that.

Love it. He/she is showing just how stupid the woke left is, how they destroy everything they touch. Even college sports. I’m cheering him/her/it on!

Too bad that all the unasterisked contestants didn’t stand on the blocks for a full 15 seconds after the start time then have their own race
