Male Runner Dominates Maine Girls Cross-Country Track Competitions
Under the Maine Principals Association's rules, male runners who identify as female may participate in girls athletics
The student, a junior at the Maine Coast Waldorf School in Freeport, dominated at the Western Maine Conference Championship in Standish on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
He took first place in the five-kilometer cross-country run.
The dominant long-distance runner defeated the second-place finisher, Zoe Carroll from York High School, by one second, finishing the 5k in 20 minutes and 29 seconds compared to Carroll’s 20:30.
Although he took first place competing against the girls, his performance was far from impressive when comparing his times against the other high school boys who ran the meet.
The top male runner, Aiden Ring, finished the 5K in 16:58 … [as the top “girl’ runner, the unnamed runner would have finished 43rd against boys.]
