The USATF policy allows transathletes to compete in the women's category in accordance with International Olympic Committee (IOC) policy. However, the USATF “must achieve certain medical benchmarks before athletes compete as gender opposites of medals, prizes and other benefits.”
Fox News Digital reached out to USATF for comment.
Schreiner previously competed with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) women's track and field team, dominated the female opponents and won social media videos that he boasted of as a transgender competitor.
But one day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning trans athletes from women and women's sports, after the NCAA revised its gender eligibility policy on February 6th, Schreiner was deemed unqualified to compete for RIT.

RIT provided a statement confirming Fox News Digital on February 12th.
“We are following the Trump administration's executive order, and we are following the NCAA participation policy for transgender student-athletes. Sadie is not participating in the next tournament,” the statement said.
Later in February, Schreiner posted a video claiming that taking medication and increasing estrogen slowed the athlete's running speed. Schreiner spoke with NCAA policymakers and said he wanted to discuss the policy before it comes into effect.
“They may have seen the outcomes of previous policies and how it made me fair, but they didn't,” Schreiner said. “And I still want to have that conversation. If I'm properly authorized, I still want to educate more people.”
Despite the RIT competition gone, Schreiner still has a profile page on the school's website, holding multiple school records as RIT's girls indoor achievements with dashes of 200, 300 and 400 meters, while RIT's female outdoor record holders hold on dashes of 200 and 400 meters.

Schreiner has been a controversial figure in women's track and field for the past year, particularly after appearing at the 2024 NCAA Division III Outdoor Athletics Championships in May.
Earlier that month, Schreiner competed in the Liberty League Championship, winning both the women's 200 and 400 meters, breaking the 400-meter record in the process. Schreiner would have finished in the men's competition for more than two seconds before.
In late January, Schreiner boasted after winning an event against a female enemy.
“My spikes almost fell on the turn, not the race I was looking for this week. With a poor start to my time, I barely wanted my time,” the RIT runner wrote in an Instagram post.
“The good news is that the season is just beginning and we're going to leave everything on the Nationals track,” Schreiner added in a transgender pride flag emoji.

On January 17th, Schreiner finished first in the 200 and 400-meter dashes on Friday night's last buster, earning a more top spot than his two female seniors. On a 200-meter dash, Schleiner beat RIT teammate Caroline Hill in 1.5 seconds, earning the first place honor in nearly 3.5 seconds on a 400-meter dash from Marissa Wise in Brockport. Schreiner's results achieved automatic qualification for the Atlantic Regional Athletics Championship.
On January 24th, Schreiner finished first in the 200-meter dash at the RIT meeting on Friday, beating Brockport's Liberty League junior Lexie Rodriguez even faster. On January 30th, Schreiner came in first place with a 200-meter and 400-meter dash against his Liberty League opponent.

Schreiner also opposed states and universities that were not offering full scholarships to trans athletes when Schreiner wanted to transfer in December. Athletes have condemned 25 state laws prohibiting trans athletes from competing with girls and women.
“Of all the hurdles that usually have, it's a trance, so there's an extra layer and 50% of the countries banned participation, so even if I reached out to me on a full ride, I couldn't attend those universities,” Schreiner said.
“It has become clear that no matter how stubborn my coaches are, no matter how hard I am, and how I lead me to their team, university administrators usually stop me from making them available.”
