CeCé Telfer vowed to 'taking all the names, all the records, and everything' once the indoor competition circuit in New England starts up agian.
CeCé Telfer, a transgender athlete who won an NCAA women’s track and field championship in 2019, vowed in a recent interview to return to indoor competition and come away with wins. Telfer sparked controversy earlier this year with wins in indoor track meets in the New England area. However, with a new book out, Telfer vowed to take home more than just a medal.
look forward to indoor track, because 2024 indoors is going to be epic,' Telfer said in an interview with Them. 'My dreams were taken away from me once again. So I plan on going back to New England, hitting up all the indoor competitions, and taking all the names, all the records, and everything. 'That doesn’t look like first all the time, that doesn’t look like second place, that doesn’t look like podium all the time, but the track meets that count will count.
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics banned transgender athletes in women’s sports earlier this year. The NAIA said its decision was rooted in 'fair and safe competition for all student-athletes' and that 'Title IX ensures there are separate and equal opportunities for female athletes.' The organization said only athletes whose biological sex is female may participate in 'NAIA-sponsored female sports.' The policy goes into effect on Aug. 1.
It breaks my heart because I had an opportunity. The NCAA saw me. They gave me a chance to be that voice and be that physical change, and they were taking a step in the right direction and obviously creating history, hoping that other organizations would follow.'
