Penn Swim Parents Send Letter To NCAA Demanding Rules Change

The parents of University of Pennsylvania swimmers, who are frustrated over the dominance of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, have sent a letter to the NCAA demanding changes to ensure an equal playing field -- or, in this case, pool -- for their daughters.

Thomas, who spent three seasons swimming as a male on the men's team, spent November and early December smashing school records in several women's freestyle events and is positioned to win NCAA national titles in March.

The Penn parents say enough is enough and that the NCAA needs to think about the biological women who are losing their equitable space in athletics.

"At stake here is the integrity of women's sports," the letter obtained by The DailyMail states. "The precedent being set – one in which women do not have a protected and equitable space to compete – is a direct threat to female athletes in every sport. What are the boundaries? How is this in line with the NCAA's commitment to providing a fair environment for student-athletes?

"It is the responsibility of the NCAA to address the matter with an official statement. As the governing body, it is unfair and irresponsible to leave the onus on Lia, Lia's teammates, Lia's coaches, UPenn athletics and the Ivy League. And it is unfair and irresponsible to Lia to allow the media to dictate the narrative without the participation of the NCAA."

So far, the NCAA has remained silent on the matter.
