Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer, spoke to members of Congress on Tuesday about a violent encounter at San Francisco State University in early April.
Since tying for fifth with transgender University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas in the 200-meter NCAA championship last year, Gaines has advocated that women's sports must be reserved for biological females. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
On April 6, Gaines visited San Francisco State University to speak with a campus group about the right of women to compete on a level playing field. She told congress that the school administration was aware of her visit, and she was told she would be met by campus police to be briefed on a security plan before she gave her talk.
