Transgender UPenn Swimmer Who Competed Two Seasons as a Man, Shatters Women’s Records – Winning by 38 Seconds (VIDEO)
Will “Lia” Thomas
Lia Thomas, a transgender UPenn swimmer who competed for two full seasons as a man before ‘transitioning’ into a female, shattered women’s records in Akron, Ohio over the weekend.
Thomas also finished one of the races 38 seconds ahead of the woman who finished in second place.
The New York Post reported:
In the finals, Thomas notched a winning time of 4:34.06 — good enough for a new Ivy League record.
The swimmer continued smashing records on Saturday with a nearly 7-second victory in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:41.93 — representing the fastest finish in the country, the school said.
