Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas won her first individual title Thursday at the Ivy League Women’s Swimming and Diving Championship, setting a pool record as she touched more than seven seconds ahead of the second-place finisher.
The University of Pennsylvania senior won the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:37.32, easily defeating Penn teammate Catherine Buroker, who placed second at 4:44.83.
The winning finish was also a pool record at Harvard University’s Blodgett Pool in Boston, breaking the mark held by 2008 and 2012 Olympic swimmer Kate Ziegler, according to Swimming World.
The 22-year-old Thomas also posted the fastest split in Wednesday’s 800 freestyle relay, although the Penn team finished third.
Thomas, who competed for three years on the Penn men’s team before joining the women’s side for the 2021-22 season, touched off a national debate over fairness and inclusion in sports with her record-smashing performances.

This situation is insane. Every female competitor should stay on the blocks when the whistle blows, and refuse to race HIM.
Madness.
Authoress Valerie Richardson at the Washington Times calls this swimmer a “WOMAN”? She is just nuts. It’s a man masquerading as a woman. I expect more from the Washington Times...or have they gone fully libtard now, too?
I have been told thousands of times that women are equal.
It took balls to win...

Every real female swimmer should refuse to swim with him.
This is so disgustingly stupid.
The Times sucks and the Examiner is worse.
