Track star who protested trans athlete alleges she wasn't given her medal for months until she filed a lawsuit
Fox News ^ | 11/16/25 | Jackson Thompson

Nothing was going to stop Alexa Anderson from stepping off the medal podium that night on May 30. Not when a biological male would be there up too.

Anderson had just finished in third place in the girls' state championship high jump, marking her final Oregon high school track performance after four intense years of competition and training. But she wouldn't see the medal for all that hard work for several months, she claims.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I know I am going to get gruff for this, but it would be better optics to refuse the medal over a trans(male) being allowed to compete in women's sports, rather than do a lawsuit to get the medal.

I agree, but this is Oregon...and likelihood of success much greater with suing FOR the medal, than suing to dislodge the trans

If she had simply refused the medal, the issue would not have gotten the publicity it has. Floodlights must continue to expose the idiocy of biological males in women’s sports and locker rooms.

I also despise how Fox News says that the girl “claimed” to have to sue to get her medal.

Had Trump not won she never would have received it. If it takes a lawsuit to overcome injustice, so be it.

Concur. They could have left out the word “claimed” and said something like “She sued to get her medal which was not awarded on the day of the event.”

It’s hard for me to understand the same Liberals that carp about Conservative Nazis trying to destroy our “Democracy” will stand by and let wussy boys who can’t compete with other boys in normal athletic events are able to declare they are ‘female” and then destroy the chances of real women to achieve the goals they work so hard for.

It's called "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Perhaps you've heard of it?

I know but to me it looks more noble to refuse the medal over Oregon's trans policy in women's sports, rather than do a lawsuit.

Flame away.

Nothing looks like anything if nobody hears about it.

I know it’s not the same, but the lawsuit reminds me of John Kerry supposedly throwing his Vietnam medals over the white house fence and 20 years later the medals show up hung in his senate office.
