Transgender and nonbinary middle-distance runner Nikki Hiltz ran the second fastest time ever of any American in the women’s 1500-meter race at the U.S. Olympic Trials Sunday, qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Hiltz, who uses they/them pronouns, charged ahead of Elle St. Pierre and Emily Mackay in the final stretch of the race, finishing with a time of 3:55:33, a trials record. All of the top eight finishers set a new personal best time, according to OutSports. Paris will mark Hiltz’s Olympic debut.
In a post-race interview with NBC Sports, Hiltz, 29, said the race had significance beyond their personal accomplishment.
“This is bigger than just me. It’s the last day of Pride Month. ... I wanted to run this one for my community,” they said. “All the LGBT folks, yeah, you guys brought me home that last hundred [meters]. I could just feel the love and support.”
Hiltz said Elle St. Pierre, who finished third and was the top-finishing American in the Tokyo Olympics women’s 1500, pushed them and the other runners to go faster. St. Pierre was in the lead for most of the race, finishing the first lap in 61 seconds.
“Elle St. Pierre has elevated women’s distance running. I saw the time, and I didn’t think that was possible,” Hiltz told NBC Sports. “We all had to rise because of her. … Awesome team we’re sending to Paris.”
Pierre and the second-place finisher, Emily Mackay, also qualified for the Paris Olympics Sunday.
Hiltz wrote in a social media post Monday that a childhood dream of theirs came true when they qualified for the Paris Olympics.

I am a North-Carolina-based reporter covering LGBTQ+ health and reproductive health. I have written for ELLE, BuzzFeed, Marie Claire, Bustle, Teen Vogue, Rewire.News, and more. I specialize in covering transgender people’s access to health care, as well as emerging science regarding trans health. I’ve also written extensively about reproductive health care, specifically about abortion, health care policy, and sexual education. My work usually centers the voices of medical experts and scientists who help break down health care myths and stigma. As a North Carolinian, I also often focus on the impacts of health policy on rural communities.
If enough real females refuse to participate against the lop-a-d..ktomy, they cant have an event.
You are mentality ill if your childhood dream is to beat up a girl.
We have a man on the womens team? How pathetic.
I’m glad Nick Rivers was there!
Hail, hail East Germany
Land of vine and grape
Land where you’ll regret
If you try to escape
No matter if you tunnel under or take a running jump at the wall
Forget it, the guards will kill you, if the electrified fence doesn’t first.
You're incorrect. This us from the runner's Instagram account:

Not he, not she, just me. When I was born I was named Dominique Ann Hiltz and assigned female. The thing about names and the gender someone assigns based on your sex is that sometimes they fit, and sometimes they don’t. Just like many people feel more like themselves going by a different name than the one they were assigned at birth, some people feel the same way about their gender. For me, it happens to be both! Just like I’ve never quite felt like a “Dominique”, I’ve also never quite felt like a girl. My birth certificate may say Dominique and female but I say, my name is Nikki and I am non-binary.
Headline: Mentally ill Woman who sometimes thinks she’s a guy, but doesn’t take steroids, will compete as a woman in Olympics.
“That none should perish but come to repentance.” I wish He wasn’t so patient but then I’m reminded of my unbelieving loved ones. 🙏🙏
Like you, I knew nothing about this person, but soon discovered Nikki was born female. She has a mental disorder, but is a great female runner.
Some people on this thread are acting as crazy as her....
The confusion ... is coming from she / he / whatever
We shouldn’t have to constantly research what these people are vs. reality
It is not a she...
Period.
Just wait for the Isaeli/u.n. brokered deal with the palistooges. Then we’ll know its about to get serious.
Apparently she / he / it is just a liar
And the author wrote an article that is just a lie
They wanted to push an agenda and needed to lie to sell it

Just more proof that men make better women than women do.
See more confusion / obfuscation from this person at the link attached to this one above (post 16)
Then she is not transgender and the whole thing is a hoax.
And by the way, it looks like a dude. Must have been taking hormones all this time which should disqualify, whatever it is, from competition.
