Connecticut hosted their state open track and field championship this past Monday at the Willow Brook Park.
Two individuals had a incredible day: they both happen to be transgender.

Transgender female Terry Miller, born a biologically male, won both the 100-meters and 200-meter races, breaking the state open records for Connecticut in both races.
Andraya Yearwood, also a transgender female, from Cromwell came in second in the 100-meter dash.

The outcomes of these two races has caused anger from those who believe it’s unfair for the transgender women to compete in the female events, given their biological advantage.

Janice Turner, a columnist for the Times, pointed out that allowing two biological men to run in women’s races was unfair to the other girls who worked hard to compete at peak performance: “Two male-bodied transgender runners came first and second. What do you say to the girls who train so hard but can never win? Yet can’t even say: this is not fair.”

This wasn’t the first time these two transgender women competed in track and field events. Last year, Andraya Yearwood took home first place for the Class M sprint titles.
This was Terry Miller’s first time competing in the girl’s competition. During the winter season, he competed on the boy’s team.
The girls who worked hard for years to place are now unable to go to the New England championships.
CIAC executive director Karissa Niehoff was asked about the girls getting bumped out and said, “We do feel for them. Fully agree it doesn’t feel good. The optic isn’t good. But we really do have to look at the bigger issues that speak to civil rights and the fact this is high school sports.”

Gary Moore, the Hillhouse coach, stated that the transgender students should be able to compete in the races, but that it “wasn’t fair to the girls.” Moore also added that something should be done to “level the playing field,” for the competition.
Moore told Hearst Connecticut Media: “I’ve been stopped by at least five coaches, all of them saying they really liked what I said in the paper. How come other coaches aren’t talking? This is a big issue a lot of coaches have, that we’ve got to do something, but how come you’re not saying anything? I’ve said what I needed to say. I’m getting a little annoyed with the coaches that we haven’t been able to get together and do what’s best for everybody.”
Selina Soule, from Glastonbury High, who placed sixth in the 100, stated that the Title IX rule allowing both males and females to participate in activities shouldn’t apply to sports.
“Of course, it should be that way for math and science and chorus,” Soule stated. “Sports are set up for fairness. Biologically male and female are different. The great majority is being sacrificed for the minority.”
