Thank you, UPenn, for finally standing up for women in sports! shorturl.at/BFmV9 This win wouldn’t be possible without leaders like Reps. Gleim, Borowicz, and White, who continue to champion the Protect Women’s Sports Act. HB158: shorturl.at/cG9Y0 pic.x.com/vkwkaPmmck

UPenn agreed to update its women's swimming records to restore titles and accomplishments to female athletes. Yet, in an incredibly predictable fashion, it added a special note to still acknowledge Lia Thomas' records. www.outkick.com/sports/lia-thomas-upenn-womens-swimming-record-books-updated-acknowledges-transgender-swimmer-note

"UPenn’s actions violated Title IX & betrayed far too many female collegiate athletes—both at UPenn & at colleges & universities across our country. We are finally seeing accountability. No university is above the law.” @paytonmcnabb_ pic.x.com/0vYCvk34w0
