University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas plans to compete for a spot at the 2024 Olympics after her collegiate career, she told Robert Sanchez of Sports Illustrated.
The transgender woman has found a lot of success at the NCAA level this year and is a top contender to win a title at the upcoming national championships. She has the top times in the country in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events.
Despite questions about her eligibility earlier in the year, an NCAA ruling in February cleared the path for Thomas to compete in the championships.
