Lawsuit by Riley Gaines Gains Support: Sprinter Carolina Hill Speaks Out on Sharing Competition with a Male Athlete
=====================================================================================================
Caroline Hill, a former collegiate sprinter and team captain at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), has made headlines for her public stand against transgender male athletes competing in women's sports. Hill faced direct competition from Sadie Schreiner, a male athlete who competed in women's sports at RIT, breaking Hill's 200-meter and 300-meter school records.
Hill's experiences have been detailed in an interview on Riley Gaines' "Gaines for Girls" podcast. Hill initially joined Riley Gaines' lawsuit against the NCAA anonymously due to fear of backlash but later revealed her identity to support women athletes in similar situations.
Hill's struggles centered around competing against Schreiner, who held biological male advantages. She expressed discomfort sharing a women's locker room with Schreiner, even after NCAA policy changes in February 2025 deemed Schreiner ineligible to compete but still allowed locker room access temporarily.
RIT athletic officials and coaches dismissed Hill's concerns about fairness and locker room privacy, citing NCAA policies as justification. Hill reported a competitive environment that was intolerant, leading to her initial decision to remain anonymous.
Joining Gaines’ lawsuit gave Hill a platform to voice broader concerns about trans inclusion policies in collegiate sports and their effects on female athletes’ safety, privacy, and competitive equity. Hill's testimony and experience provide concrete examples supporting the legal claims that the NCAA's transgender inclusion policies harm women’s sports participants, influencing ongoing litigation and public debate.
Hill was concerned about the safety of speaking out against a male athlete competing in women's sports, as she spent a significant amount of time with her teammates and coaches. She wanted to graduate from RIT and do well in her track and field career, which influenced her decision to join the lawsuit anonymously.
After graduating from RIT, Hill felt safe to reveal her anonymity. Hill believes Riley Gaines' fight is important due to the intimidation, anxiety, and culture of silence she experienced. Hill's full interview can be heard on Riley Gaines' "Gaines for Girls" podcast.
In a forthcoming primetime special on Fox, Riley Gaines will discuss her reasons for no longer using the term "biological female." This move is likely to spark further debate on the topic of transgender inclusion in women's sports.
