NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!EXCLUSIVE: Caroline Hill turned down multiple Division I women’s track and field scholarships to compete for Division III Rochester Institute of Technology. Her talents allowed her to break the program record in the 200-meter and 300-meter early in her collegiate career. But then she had to watch both records fall to transgender teammate Sadie Schreiner, all while feeling “uncomfortable” sharing a locker room with her trans teammate for the next two years. Then, even after Schreiner was ruled ineligible to compete when the NCAA changed its transgender policy on Feb. 6, Hill alleges Schreiner continued to use the women’s locker room and train with the team for another month. RIT has declined to comment on Hill’s allegations. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMNow, Hill is the first of Schreiner’s former RIT teammates to speak out about the experience. Hill previously joined Riley Gaines’ lawsuit vs. the NCAA in 2023 – Schreiner’s first official year on her team – as an anonymous plaintiff. But now, she has come forward to put her name down. Hill claims she and her teammates were introduced to Schreiner as their future teammate in 2022. Schreiner did not officially begin to compete until 2023.”He was practicing with us a little bit during the preseason,” Hill said of the situation in 2022. Fox News Digital was unable to verify why Schreiner did not officially compete for RIT in 2022. When Schreiner began competing the following year, Hill claims the two of them were paired up as “workout buddies” by their coaches. “We were sort of expected to be training buddies because we’re both ‘women’ on the women’s team running the same events,” Hill said. “Personally, I saw it as ‘This is not fair. This is definitively unfair’… the expectation was that we are equals, being perceived as equals by the coach. That was what I had a harder time with.” Hill even made it a point to protest the situation to her coach and administrators, but to no avail. Hill even alleges that Jacqueline Nicholson, RIT executive director of intercollegiate athletics, told her and the other women on the team that Schreiner had “less testosterone” than some of them. “I had a couple conversations with her. She was very firm in that ‘This is what the NCAA is enforcing. We’re supporting it,'” Hill said. “We even had a meeting with the women on the team where she addressed us and said, ‘We support this athlete competing on the team. Some of you women have more testosterone than he does,’ making it seem like it was totally fair and just as if we had a problem with it, that was not OK. It was very, very harsh.” Hill said her conversation with her sprint coach was futile as well. “I was very vulnerable expressing my feelings about the male athlete competing and training with us. And he was not very empathetic,” Hill said. “He sort of tried to diminish my thoughts, and it was a lot of deflection.
