Story by David Artavia (12 Aug 2024)

When track star CeCé Telfer discovered running, she described it as finding a missing piece of herself.

In 2019, Telfer made history as the first openly transgender woman to win an NCAA title, claiming the top spot in the women's 400-meter hurdles while attending Franklin Pierce University. international sports events.

Her dream of competing in the Olympic trials was dashed in 2021 when USA Track and Field ruled she didn't meet the hormone-level eligibility criteria. The situation became more challenging for Telfer in March 2023 when World Athletics, the global governing body for track and field, implemented regulations that effectively barred trans women from competing in female sporting events, putting an end to Telfer's aspirations for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Despite these setbacks, she continues to train daily not only for herself, but for other young trans athletes.

"We walk so they can run," she said of being a role model. "There's something in my soul that says I have to keep going. I just have to."

"My goal is to compete in the next Olympics and try to overturn this horrible and dehumanizing ban," she said. " I know there's work to be done. Protocols and policies need to be changed."
