University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas made history by becoming the first transgender woman to win an NCAA swimming competition in Division I. Thomas, who entered the competition as the top seed, finished the 500-yard freestyle with a season-best time of 4 minutes, 33.24 seconds. The race was close until the last 100 yards with Virginia’s Emma Weyant finishing second at 4:34.99. “I didn’t have a whole lot of expectation for this meet,” Thomas said. “I was just happy to be here and race and compete the best I could.” For more on Lia Thomas, visit the link in our bio.
