Numerous female competitors, some only teenagers, refused to compete against male transgender-identifying runner Sadie Schreiner, 21, during this weekend’s USA Track and Field (USATF) Open Masters Championships.
Schreiner, who formerly went by the first name Camden, competed against males during high school, before joining the girls’ Rochester Institute of Technology’s track and field team, where he broke records.
On Saturday, Schreiner took first place in the women’s 400-meter dash after his two female competitors — 17-year-old Anna Vidolova and 16-year-old Amaris Hiatt — did not compete in the race.
Schreiner also took first place in the women’s 200-meter dash, beating out female competitors as young as 14 years old, according to Fox News. In that race, Vidolova again chose not to compete, as well as 18-year-old runner Jordan Carr, Paula Damiens, 16, and Amanda Taylor, 46.
So this happened moments ago at a Track Meet in New York.
A male athlete entered the 400m race against two women and neither of those women bothered to run the race.
The man ran alone and it counts as the women’s result.
Shame on you @usatf and meet directors.#trackandfield… pic.twitter.com/wULQvZqBtc— Linda Blade (@coachblade) March 1, 2025
USATF has not acknowledged the female competitors’ apparent protest. The organization allows males to compete in female sports in compliance with International Olympic Committee (IOC) rules.

Back in 2023, Schreiner set a school record for women’s track and field at RIT.
“New school record,” RIT celebrated in an Instagram post, which has the comments turned off. “Sophomore Sadie Schreiner set a new record in the 300m dash last Friday at Nazareth, clocking in a time of 41.80s.”
At the time, Schreiner was only referred to as “Sadie Rose” on RIT’s athletics website. His win then, as this past win, sparked major backlash online.
Meet Camden. A male who just broke the women’s 300m record on his college’s women’s track team.
Before he pretended to be a woman, he competed on the men’s team in highschool where was ranked in 19th place.
Why is @RITtigers allowing a man to steal women’s track records. pic.twitter.com/U2cIfe0rj9
