Four female track and field athletes won’t get their day in court to challenge Connecticut’s rule allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports after a federal appeals court ruled the women lost their legal basis to sue when they graduated from high school.
The decision by the 2nd Circuit US Court of Appeals Friday upheld last year’s trial judge’s ruling that threw out the challenge as legally pointless because the girls no longer compete in high school sports.
