A huge congratulations to Anna Ritter, the champion of the 102nd Women's Ohio State Amateur Championship at Weymouth Country Club! 🏆
Congratulations to @Riley_Gaines_ for her bold leadership in standing for truth and fairness in women’s sports. UPenn’s apology is a long-overdue step in the right direction. We must continue to protect the integrity of women’s athletics. Biology is not bigotry.
