The Washington Examiner reports on Aspen Hoffman, a male runner who has been permitted to compete against girls at Seattle Academy. As with Lia Thomas, Hoffman first played on the boys’ team before switching to the girls’ squad.
The 5,000-meter runner boasts two victories, including a conference championship, and three top-two finishes in just eight races. Last year, when running as a biological male, Hoffman finished in 72nd place as a freshman in a boys’ cross-country race.
Hoffman hasn’t gotten faster. The competition has only gotten slower. How can anyone defend this?
