CeCé Telfer
CeCé Telfer is a groundbreaking transgender athlete known for her historic victory as the first out transgender woman to win an NCAA title in the Division II 400-meter hurdles in 2019. Since then, she has faced significant challenges, particularly under the Trump administration's policies that have restricted transgender athletes' participation in women's sports. Telfer has been vocal about the increased anti-trans rhetoric and its impact on her life and the lives of other transgender individuals. Despite these obstacles, she remains resilient and hopeful for a future where she can compete at the highest levels, including her aspirations for the 2028 Olympics.
