Penn’s transgender swimmer Lia Thomas brought the national spotlight to the Ivy League Championships over the weekend and left as a champion in three different races.
. For Thomas, it could be a bit of a preview of what’s to come when she gets to face off against some of the top swimmers next month.
Thomas had a dominant weekend, setting a few meet and pool records. The swimmer was even named the High-Point Swimmer of the Meet. Thomas had some support at Blodgett Pool last week. An"8 Against Hate" sign was displayed above the pool between flags representing each of the Ivy League member schools, and several athletes were seen wearing shirts with the same slogan.
On Feb. 1, USA Swimming updated its policy requiring transgender athletes who are competing at an elite level to have small levels of testosterone – half of what Thomas was allowed to compete with – for at least 36 months before being eligible. Thomas’ future in the pool was immediately uncertain.
