TRENTON, N.J. — A transgender woman has sued Princeton University claiming she was illegally removed shortly before her race in a school-hosted track meet in May due to her gender identity.

An attorney for Sadie Schreiner filed the complaint in New Jersey Superior Court on Tuesday, listing the school along with athletic director John Mack and director of track operations Kimberly Keenan-Kirkpatrick as defendants. The lawsuit also lists New York-based Leone Timing and Results Services as a defendant in its role of handling official timing for organized track and field events.

The lawsuit comes more than five months after the NCAA changed its participation policy for transgender athletes to limit competition in women’s sports to athletes assigned female at birth. That change came a day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports.

Schreiner, who had transitioned during high school, had previously run for Division III Rochester Institute of Technology but was set to compete as an athlete unattached to any school or club in the Larry Ellis Invitational. The complaint seeks unspecified damages for a “humiliating, dehumanizing and dignity-stripping ordeal” in front of family and friends.

The complaint cites New Jersey anti-discrimination law barring discrimination for being transgender, with schools considered areas of “public accommodation.”

“We stand by the allegations in the pleading,” Schreiner attorney Susie Cirilli told The Associated Press on Friday. “As stated in the complaint, the defendants’ individual actions were intolerable in a civilized community and go beyond the possible bounds of decency.”

Princeton’s media and athletics officials as well as Leone Timing did not return emails from the AP seeking comment.

According to the complaint, Schreiner originally signed up to run the 100- and 200-meter races before later declaring only for the 200 despite registering and qualifying for both races. The complaint says she learned 15 minutes before her race that her name had been removed from the official list of competitors, then raised the issue with Leone Timing officials before being directed to Mack and Keenan-Kirkpatrick.

During that exchange, the complaint states, Keenan-Kirkpatrick said, “I do not want to assume, but you are transgender.” Additionally, Keenan-Kirkpatrick “further suggested that she had tried to organize a separate segregated event just for Sadie so that she could run” while Schreiner provided a birth certificate and driver’s license recognizing her as a female, according to the complaint.

According to her Instagram page, Schreiner said she was “barred” from running in a February track event at Boston University as an unattached athlete following the Trump order and NCAA policy change.

The nationwide battle over transgender girls on girls’ and women’s sports teams has played out at both the state and federal levels as Republicans have leveraged the issue as a fight for athletic fairness. More than two dozen states have enacted laws barring transgender women and girls from participating in certain sports competitions. Some policies have been blocked in court.

The trio join spring transfers Dionii Fraga, Kenadie Patterson and Emoni Bush and freshmen Tekoa Barnes, Alyssa Flack and Avaya Maga as the nine newcomers for 2025.

ADA AWAGU | MIDDLE BLOCKER | SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS | GEORGIA TECH

Awagu comes to Oklahoma from Georgia Tech after enrolling early in January. The San Antonio, Texas, native will have four years of eligibility as she joins the freshman class. In high school, she recorded over 1,000 kills and 250 blocks. As a senior, she was an AVCA All-America honorable mention and AVCA All-Region team member. Awagu also earned district offensive player of the year honors and was the team MVP as a junior and senior. A four-time all-district selection, she led her team to the 2024 State Sweet 16.

“Ada is a very talented young middle blocker with a very high ceiling,” Mansfield said. “We do some unique things with that position as a program and we are excited to help her explore her potential here. We are thrilled to have Ada on campus this summer as she gets acclimated to our team.”

Awagu is the daughter of Nnenna and Slyvester Awagu and has three siblings: Erinne, Jianna and Obi. She was a member of the Academic Honor Roll at Johnson High School.

HARPER HALL | SETTER | HIGHLAND PARK, TEXAS | UCSB

“We recruited Harper out of high school, so we were very familiar with her skillset and work ethic,” Mansfield said. “Harper will bring a level of competition that will be felt in our gym right away. She thinks about the game differently and we are excited for her to bring her creativity to the setting position.”

Prior to UCSB, Hall attended Highland Park High School where she was a three-year letter winner. She led a team that ranked as high as second in the country among high school teams and was a three-time district champion. She was named the Newcomer of the Year in her conference and earned First Team All-District honors while accumulating over 2,500 career assists. She was named the District Setter of the Year and garnered Texas Girls Coaches Association All-State honors.

A native of Highland Park, Texas, Hall is the Daughter of Wendy and Derek Hall and has a brother, Leo.

PIPER JUSTISS | SETTER | AUSTIN, TEXAS | PEPPERDINE

Justiss comes to Oklahoma after spending her freshman season at Pepperdine. After not appearing in any matches as a true freshman, she will have four years of eligibility remaining at OU.

“Piper is a setter that can pretty much play every facet of the game,” Mansfield said. “We are looking forward to Piper learning the intricacies of our offense and putting her own spin on it. We are really excited to have her join our program and get going with our team this summer.”

Justiss graduated from Bowie High School where she lettered one year as a setter. She totaled 204 assists, 141 kills, and 24 aces her senior year, earning 6A All-District honors in 2023.

MARDEN – Guelph/Eramosa officials held a ribbon cutting here on July 17 to mark the opening of six new beach volleyball courts.

The project cost around $230,000, but was fully funded by Perpetual Motion Sports, an adult recreational sports league. 

Founder Dave Kelly said beach volleyball is one of Perpetual Motion Sports’ most popular sports, with 292 teams across different levels this year. 

Kelly said he couldn’t find enough courts to meet demand so he first approached the township in late 2023 about constructing more courts on the grounds of the Royal Distributing Athletic Performance Centre in Marden. 

After some deliberation, Kelly and the township landed on an agreement earlier this year that has Perpetual Motion Sports paying the final cost in return for free and exclusive use of the courts during specific hours until the end of 2035. 

The hours are Sunday to Thursday, 6:30 to 8:30pm, from May to early September. 

Jeff Myer, manager of parks and facilities for the township, said the courts are available to rent for $15 per hour.

Myer added the rental fee was more focused at teams or leagues, and if, for example, a family of four showed up and was hitting a ball around, township officials wouldn’t kick them out. 

Myer commended contractor Bomar Landscaping for completing the project on a tight deadline.

Mayor Chris White, who noted the six Marden courts are the first beach volleyball courts in the township, said the township “may have to copy some of these over in Rockwood.”

The new courts were immediately put to use on July 17.
