Keep in mind, we hadn't seen a photo of this person or else things probably would have been a little more clear. But we really continued to stay in the dark until an article came out disclosing that Leah Thomas is actually Will Thomas and swam three years on the men's team at UPenn before deciding to switch to the women's team. Whereas you said ranked... was mediocre at best.

He was a less than average male swimmer. Still competing at the Division I level, so obviously he was a good swimmer.

But not when it came to national rankings or achievements. When I found out about this, naturally, we were shocked. But really, when I think about how I felt, it was like this overwhelming sense of relief. Like, oh, that makes sense. Duh, it's a man. That's why he's beating everyone in the country by so much in multiple events. Duh.

And I didn't think much about it because I thought, surely, I mean, it didn't even cross my mind that the NCAA wouldn't see a problem with this. They won't let him compete with us at NCAAs, the pinnacle of our sport. They'll put a policy in place. I'm sure they already have one in place. This isn't really an issue. He's a man.

So I was very relieved until I found out that the NCAA did not see it that way. They didn't see it the same way that me, again, my teammates, my coaches, anyone with any amount of brain activity saw this issue. They saw no problem with it. But even still, those three weeks, I mentioned how we found out about three weeks before that meet in March of 2022.

Even after finding out leading up to that meet, I am almost ashamed to admit it, but I still felt this sheer sense of curiosity, almost intriguement. What is this going to look like? Is he as tall as Instagram pictures make him look? Is he going to sandbag it? Will he be in our locker room? I mean, there were so many questions that we didn't have answers to that there was a sense of intriguement.
