EXCLUSIVE: Caroline Hill rejected multiple athletics scholarships of division I for women to compete for the Institute of Technology of Division III Rochester.
His talent allowed him to break the program record in the 200 meters and 300 meters at the beginning of his university career. But then he had to see that both records fall to his Transgender teammate Sadie Schreiner, all while he felt “uncomfortable” sharing a costume with his trans teammate during the next two years.
Then, even after Schreiner was not eligible to compete when the NCAA changed its transgender policy on February 6, Hill alleges that Schreiner continued using the women’s costume and training with the team for another month. Rit has refused to comment on Hill’s accusations.

Now, Hill is the first of the former Schreiner Rit teammates to talk about the experience. Hill previously joined Riley Gaines against NCAA in 2023, Schreiner’s first year in his team, as an anonymous plaintiff. But now, she has introduced herself to leave her name.
Hill states that she and her teammates were introduced to Schreiner as her future teammate in 2022. Schreiner did not begin to compete officially until 2023.
“I was practicing a little with us during the preseason,” Hill said about the situation in 2022. Pak Gazette Digital could not verify why Schreiner did not officially compete for RIT in 2022.
When Schreiner began to compete the following year, Hill states that the two were paired as “training friends” by their coaches.
“It was expected that outside the training friends because we are both ‘women’ in the women’s team that runs the same events,” said Hill.
“Personally, I saw how ‘this is not fair. This is definitely unfair’ … the expectation was that we are equal, being perceived as the same by the coach. That was what happened to me more difficult.”
Hill even proposed to protest the situation with his coach and administrators, but it was in vain. Hill even alleges that Jacqueline Nicholson, executive director of Rit of Intercollegiate Athletics, told her the other women in the team that Schreiner had “less testosterone” than some of them.
“I had a couple of conversations with her. It was very firm in that ‘This is what NCAA is applying. We are supporting it,” said Hill. “We even had a meeting with women in the team where she went to us and said: ‘We support this athlete who competes in the team. Some of you, women have more testosterone than him,’ make it look totally fair and as if we had a problem with that, that was not right. It was very strong.”
Hill said his conversation with his Sprint coach was also useless.
“It was very vulnerable expressing my feelings about the male athlete competing and training with us. And it wasn’t very empathic,” Hill said. “He tried to reduce my thoughts, and it was a great deflection. It’s like, ‘well, we shouldn’t focus on that.'”
Hill also states that other women in the team support compete with Schreiner.
“Many of my teammates, UM, supported this athlete competing and training with us,” said Hill.
In the second year of Schreiner on the team in 2024, the Trans athlete broke the record of the Hill program in the previous 300 -meter record, cleaning the previous Hill record, which established its second year in 2022, in 1.42 seconds.
At the beginning of 2025, Schreiner broke the program record in the 200 meters with 24.46, surpassing the best Hill time of 25.82, which established that same year. She is located just behind Schreiner for the second best in the history of the program.

While Hill had to see Schreiner break his university albums on the track, an even more personal dilemma was waiting for her in the locker room.
“I remember one day, I think I was changing, and suddenly this athlete is right in the locker room, and being very shocked and deadly because it is uncomfortable to have a man in the costumes. And so, in reality, his locker was right next to mine,” Hill said. “It’s a kind of social area, but he really didn’t talk to anyone.”

Hill also said that Schreiner never changed in the women’s locker room. Even so, Hill said he actively tried to change in front of Schreiner, but that was not always an option.
“If he were like being there doing something or whatever, he would wait for him to be in another place before changing,” Hill said. “Or there were times when I did, but I would simply change as quickly as I could and, you know, I could like the sucking, I suppose. It is not that I should have had to do that.”
Hill spent the two years of his university career sharing those spaces and competitions with Schreiner. After President Donald Trump signed the executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports” on February 5, whose objective was to end situations such as Rit, the NCAA fulfilled the next day, changing their policy to allow biological women to compete as women.
Hill said the coaches never officially informed the female athletes that Schreiner would no longer compete with them.
RIT provided a statement to Pak Gazette Digital on February 12 that said: “We continue to follow the NCAA participation policy for transgender athletes after the executive order of the Trump administration. Sadie does not participate in the next meeting.”
However, Hill claimed that this did not mean the end of seeing Schreiner in the locker room or in practice.
“I was still changing with us and all that. I was a little confused,” said Hill. “Using our coaches, our facilities, our resources during practice times even though the rules had changed. Therefore, it did not end with the change of rules. He continued training with us. We were not training friends, but he was always there at the same time … I would say a month later. [the rule change]”
Schreiner’s lawyer, Susie Cirilli of Cirilli LLC, told Pak Gazette Digital: “We are not responding at this time,” in response to a request for comments on Hill’s statements.
Finally, Schreiner made an effort to compete in events not sanctioned by the NCAA.
Schreiner competed in the US Open Open Masters Championship on March 1 in New York.
There, Schreiner took first place on the 400 -meter board of women and the 200 -meter race.

Weeks after that, Schreiner published an Instagram video that claimed to have competed in the last Schreiner organized TRACK ACCOUNT In the USA after a USATF event in Maine.
“It is very likely that I executed what will be my last meeting in the United States,” said Schreiner, then and then added: “I will find a way to continue competing, but I doubt that it is in the United States.”
Schreiner said that USATF changed his policy on transgender eligibility since the one used by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which allows biological men to compete in the women’s category, used by World Athletics, which prohibits any athlete who has experienced the male puber of competing as a woman. The Official Transgender Eligibility Policy of the USATF now refers to world athletics guidelines on its official website. He previously referred to the COI’s policy, as seen in a file through Wayback Machine.
Then, in July, Schreiner filed a lawsuit against Princeton University after the school supposedly excluded the athlete from a female career of May 3.
Schreiner’s demand said the athlete tried to participate in the 200 -female sprint in the Invitational Larry Ellis as one of the 141 non -united participants a university or club. The demand claims that the officials told Schreiner that the athlete could not participate 15 minutes before the race began.
“The actions of the two Princeton officials were in flagrant and voluntary contempt for Sadie’s rights based on Sadie’s rights as a transgender woman under the control of the New Jersey Law, which caused Sadie Schreiner to be predictable emotional and physical damage,” the demand argued.
Cirilli provided an exclusive statement to Pak Gazette Digital on Schreiner’s demand against Princeton.
“The action of the two Princeton officials was in flagrant and deliberate contempt for Sadie’s rights as a transgender woman under the control of the New Jersey Law,” reads the statement. “The actions of the defendants were completely intolerable in a civilized community and go beyond the possible limits of decency.”
Meanwhile, Hill, having graduated from rit with a title in graphic design, is pressing ahead as a public member of the demand of Gaines vs. NCAA.
Hill said that fear of reprisals from other students at school and in other places prevented him from talking against the situation before. But now, as culture in the United States has changed, Hill is proudly presenting his name as a defender to protect women’s sports.
“I was definitely a little worried about being on the campus, being in my team, UM, with an administration that felt strongly, I understand that they were against demand … I was a little worried about my own security and that things could climb in a way that I could not foresee,” said Hill.
“I feel it is worth introducing 1754835749 The fact that I have the ability to use what has happened to me as a way of demonstrating that women, female athletes are being harmed … I’m afraid to leave because I am sure there are many girls who feel they can’t and have no voice.
“The NCAA has definitely done so for them, many women and girls do not feel they can speak, so I want to do it.”
Hill is asking to apologize to her and restore her as the registration holder of the program for 200 and 300 meters.
